Four American soldiers set out on the grueling ascent of an Italian mountainside in the closing days of World War II. Haunted by their evil sergeant's cold-blooded murder of a young woman and with only an old Italian man of uncertain loyalties as their guide.

Ellen E Jones

Guardian

Bausch's book has been praised for its existential profundity on religious matters, but very little of that makes it to the screen.

Rated: 2/5

Los Angeles Times

If tension was the filmmakers' aim, they decisively miss - especially if it was meant to come from the puzzlingly casual sniper situation. Any possibility of buying into the story's reality is defused by the soldiers being so dang gabby, and loudly so.

The News-Herald (Willoughby, OH)

Like many war movies that have their intended impacts, it is effective in reminding us of the sacrifices made by those who've served their nation.

Rated: 2.5/4

Violent WWII drama makes existential plea against war.

Just when you chuckle over someone's comment, there is an unusual sound to disturb the moment. The audience begins to get the feel of being alone, really alone.

Rated: 3.5/5

A hard hitting film about the effects of war on men — it's realistic and a true story — see it — it makes you think .

They never shut the fuck up. I was rooting for the Germans to kill them because they deserve it for never shutting up in a RECON mission.

Unfortunately, Recon follows no real life WWII event or even a plot. The movie is just a confusing slog through a nondescript Italian countryside, and the actors, while good, never shine.

Un insulto agli war movie; si contano sulle dita di una mano gli aspetti da salvare. L'insieme di soldati più fastidioso mai creato, va in missione come se fosse una gita scolastica, tra battute di pessimo gusto e chiasso all'inverosimile. A tutto ciò ci si aggiunge un Franco Nero in grado di mantenere la stessa identica espressione per tutta la durata del film, e un montaggio delle scene più importanti fatto in modo illogicamente veloce e confusionario; cercando di creare un senso di ansia ma finendo per far venire il mal di testa a chi cerca di stare al passo con tutti i cambi di immagine. A tutto ciò ci si aggiunge anche una tematica trita come quella dell'abuso di potere.

Rated 1 out of 5 stars
