Spaghetti western twist on World War II action

Another addition to a long list of action flicks based on World War II, Blood & Gold is the latest war film from Germany and produced by Netflix that blends action and treasure hunting adventure with the tropes of the spaghetti western.

While many other war films usually come with an emotional theme that explores the true horrors of war, Blood & Gold seems to be a movie with sheer explosive chaos, akin to Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds (2009). While the plot can be a bit simple and loses impact in the final act, and is predictable in scope, the real draw of Blood & Gold comes rather from exciting fights and well choreographed action sequences. It's bloody, it's brutal, destructive, and it all makes for an entertaining viewing experience.
