MARCH OR DIE (Theatrical Release Britain 1977)

 Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.2|5.0 Starsìììì

March or Die—solid story—accesses the talents of Gene Hackman, Terrence Hill, Max Von Sydow, and Ian Holm to bring the movie to life. While not the best of films, the movie deserves its watch and makes an audience think about the French Foreign Legion’s activity through the years. It becomes beneficial to read a Wikipedia article on the French Foreign Legion before watching the film to deepen appreciation for this movie.
