Based on actual incident back in WWII, Lieutenant Wosick (Luke Goss) is one of few survivors left of a former unit, he then goes to induct himself to train and bring into battle another unit of six men who call themselves "War Pigs" hence the title. He does this training and mission alongside with the aid of another captain, a former French foreign legion Captain Picault (Dolph Lundgren). Mickey Rourke also stars as the colonel and Chuck Liddel as a former sergeant.

When I see soldiers in combat, with their life saving helmets unbuckled, I know its going to be "a load of pooh movie" so I switch off.

Not the worst WWII movie I've seen. They did a good job with authentic uniforms and weapons for the most part. Rourke's part in the film was completely ridiculous. It almost seemed like he showed up on set, wore what he wanted and shot his part. He probably said, "you want me in your move I'm going to do what I want whether you like it or not" only explanation I can come up with for him wearing a flippin cowboy hat, and long hair in an otherwise well costumed movie. I'm guessing maybe he and Dolph came as a package deal? He's by far the worst part of the movie...eliminate him and I might have given it 3 stars. Other than his horrible French accent, Dolph wasnt nearly as bad as some of the roles I've seen him in. Not quite sure why they made him into a legionnaire though. Better option would have been to let him act in his natural voice and just have him be a special forces instructor instead of trying to force him into a French role. The German officer was a bit over the top as well...GI dog tags, unit patches...I'm just not sure why in a movie looking pretty authentic that they would stray from that with Rourke and the German officer.... Overall, its not a horrible film, but I wouldnt go out of my way to watch it. Make a few changes and it could have been much better.

this low budget war movie shows a suprising attention to detail. while this movie isn't some big blockbuster it's definiately not some home video put into cinema. the actors do a really good job. the director have really gone to lengths to use authentic equipment such as the german half track and the panzer 3 tank. A MOVIE THAT'S HIGHLY UNDERATED!

The underlying story is pretty good, the actors are mostly good, i can only blame the poor film to the director and editor. Seriously missing any tense action, its just a bit of a mess.

I love a great war movie. This isn't one. Awful Dirty Dozen knock-off. Lundgren's French accent is straight out of horror films. Rourke plays a long-haired Colonel whose face looks like a battering ram hit it until the cows came home. The lead has facial hair in WWII. The wise-ass Sergeant would be shot for dereliction of duty. The dialogue out of children's homework. NOTHING works. This is simply unwatchable. */*****. Pure shit. ?/18%.

Hoping to revive a classic war film ambiance, the endeavor is simply too confined and shiny to feel knuckle-crackingly retro.
