7/10
Ford's Corvette Summer
4 May 2010
Warning: Spoilers
Seems like an action/adventure but ends up espionage and is overall a World War II film, and not a real sequel as two characters from THE GUNS OF NAVARONE, played by different actors, Robert Shaw and Edward Fox, join a group of Americans, led by Harrison Ford (basking from the prior year's STAR WARS fame), all sent from England into Yugoslavia: Ford's mission to blow up a bridge, Shaw's to kill a German agent.

One must suspend disbelief to truly enjoy the plodding yet lightly involving odyssey as both missions intertwine, and you never really know which peripheral character's on the right side, adding intrigue and a fair amount of suspense.

While it's much too easy for our heroes to traipse around Nazi-ridden Yugo without being killed, there's enough snags (like being captured twice by easily-tricked Germans) that you'll either forget or embrace that, for better or worse, this is complete fantasy.
