Watch It! “Cross of Iron” is Sam Peckinpah’s only film set in World War II. However, despite the historical setting, “Cross of Iron” is nowhere near being among Peckinpah’s best. The WWII setting is wonderful and one of my favorite cinema genres, but Sam doesn’t pull off as great a film as he did for westerns with “The Wild Bunch” or contemporary action/drama with “The Getaway” with Steve McQueen and Ali MacGraw. “Cross of Iron” is the story of a German platoon and specifically its leader, played well by James Coburn. Its supporting cast, including Maximilian Schell and James Mason, is solid and so, you should find “Cross of Iron” and … Watch It!
