Tank Force (1958)
7/10
Westerns go to WW2

Good ingredients: cast, location, plot that could have produced a masterpiece but fall a bit short. I understand that accuracy of military vehicles wasn't crucial in a film from the late '50s, but in this case, there's a total confusion of vehicles and weaponry. It's hard to fully immerse oneself in the setting when you see vehicles from a period after the war. The sound also has many flaws, as the weapons sound like they're from a typical Western movie. In fact, it feels like a typical Western movie transported to World War II.

There's a lack of creativity in the plot development, as it always seems too easy to escape (from prisoner camps, ambushes, etc.).

My score would be an 8, but I have to deduct a point for the extremely inaccurate use of the vehicles used.
