Third TV version of the story has Savalas back as the leader of 12 convicts on a desperate mission to attack a train carrying a dozen Nazis selected to be the next generation of mad Reich leaders. After the usual training sequences and the traditional visit of the whores, Savalas learns there is a traitor in the team. It culminates in an explosive scene involving the train as a few of the twelve survive. Shot in Croatia, this has a very professional look and is hugely entertaining if violent and familiar fare. Unlikely addition of hot babe Thomas is a welcome diversion. The cast contains a number of tough guy, grizzled performers who easily fit into the rigorous action.
