I am a fan of Tom Selleck and have purchased most of the available DVDs he has been featured or associated with. When I saw the photo on The Gypsy Warriors I was intersted and read what little data that was offered... little information and no story line or teaser that told the fact that this was more or less a tv show expanded to a less than satisfying waste of time and money. I would classify it as a C story and a C+ for acting. It is one of those cases where: "if you have never heard of the movie there is a good reason". My one consolation is that the service to get it was good, and the price was less than going to the theater. Would I recommend it to a friend? No, but I will keep it on my shelf as reminder to look closer before I leap.

They put this low budget, poor excuse for a made for TV movie on DVD? Where is Lassiter? Where is High Road to China? Who makes these choices? I like Selleck movies, but stock clips poorly mixed with back lot (room, lot would be too lofty) scenes complete with learning the trade acting. Did I really give it 2 stars. I guess I really do like TS movies.

First of all the music is really bad.
The one fellow in 1940 France calls the Tom Selleck character "Gung Ho"
which comes from a 1942 Marine movie ?
Some of the props in the biology lab are just there by
"time travel' with plastics and electronics not seem until the 1980's.
I have no idea if France ever had a secret biological
lab, but if it did, it would have been very near
Paris?
In short the acting may be better than the script writing,
producing and directing here?
Missions like this weren't organized until later in the war
and were mostly carried out by British commandos under the OSS?
The art work in contrast to the music is very well done.

I like Tom Selleck, but this movie is very poor. If you look closely at one of the night scenes, you can see the World Trade Center - the two towers - in the back ground. Duh! The towers were not around during WWII.

One of Tom Sellecks earlier movies and was disappointing, after you watch him in Jesse Stone you wouldn't bother with this attempt.

As one other reviewer stated, it's Tom Selleck. The quality of the movie is not that great and there is a lot of night stuff, so it's hard to see what's going on. The story is ok because it is eliminating some Nazis. It's one of those movies you see once and that will probably do you for a lifetime.

Didn't like this one bit. Only saving grace was that Tom was in it. Story was contrived and a little stupid. Don't even bother with it.

The worst war movie ever filmed and I'm sure one Tom Selleck (one of my very favorite actors) wishes he'd never done. I only gave it one star because I could not rate it with none. A true STINKER!!!

We are fans of Tom Selleck. He is not a great actor but a wonderful personality. In this movie his performance, when compared to the rest of the cast, is of Oscar quality. The direction and camera work are as bad as they get. The script was found in someones trash.

This is a Christmas gift, but I'm sure my husband will be very happy to get it. It arrived in the time frame quoted.
