This is the story of Marie DuJardin, played by Nina Bergman, a resistance fighter who is mistaken as a Nazi sympathiser as all those who can confirm her identity have been killed. She escapes an ambush with the German officer, Von Bruckner played by Daniel Bernhardt, who shows her the gold he stole from the Third Reich.
The story jumps back and forth to show us who the characters are that affect Marie's fate at the moment the crux of the tale unfolds. She has been rescued from more public abuse by a group of American soldiers who take her to the small rural cemetery where she says the gold is buried.
Jesse V. Johnson directs this war action film with a lot of violence and some gore.
The irony of the story is about the men fighting over gold as the World War is raging and people's lives are always hanging by a thread. Like most World War movies, it is disturbing to see human insanity stretched out on the screen. Death is the invisible character throughout.
You can stream this war drama from all platforms starting today.

The film is set in New York and provides just the right note of magic needed by the younger generation who has been so isolated after two whole years of confinement due to COVID.
I enjoyed the casting very much: Darby Camp is adorable as middle schooler Emily Elizabeth; John Cleese of Monty Python fame is a delightful wizard whose mission is to protect animals; Jack Whitehall is zany as the irresponsible Uncle Casey who is babysitting Darby on the day Clifford joins the family.
ENJOY!
