    What a complicated movie! More personal than war. Typical Terence Hill, solidly great guy. The war aspect is misunderstood. much like any anglo-arab conflict, we don't know what it's really about until too late

    "March or Die" develops at a calculated pace, meticulously painting Gene Hackman's character with battle fatigue. They crowed the narrative with interwoven storylines, a maze of tales that unfortunately seemed to exhaust their storytelling prematurely, leading to a finale that left me wanting.
