When "Ten Seconds to Hell" began, I was veyr surprisesd. After all, I knew the movie was about ex-German soldiers being hired as bomb disposal units following the war. Yet, surprisingly, the actors playing these Germans were all Americans...and they didn't sound the least big German. Odd casting...that's for sure and I can only assume some German actors would have loved to have had the chance! Despite this, it is a pretty good movie.
The two big American stars in the unit are Jack Palance and Jeff Chandler...so you know that eventually the film will center on these two. And, it's true...after several members of their small outfit are blown to bits, there's a rivalry between the nice-guy (Palance) and the selfish sociopath (Chandler). Who will survive....if any?
The plot was very good. The dialog, at times, wasn't so hot--particularly in the contrived romance. But despite the problems, I still liked the film and recommend you see it.
