3.0 out of 5 stars Lost Legion 29 April 2007
By Trevor Willsmer HALL OF FAME TOP 50 REVIEWER
Format:DVD
March or Die was one of a number of massive box-office disasters that nearly brought Columbia to its knees until CE3K rescued it from the brink. On the surface it belongs alongside the trilogy of mid-70s adventure films that Sean Connery made for the studio, with Gene Hackman's embittered Foreign Legionnaire reluctantly leading his surviving men to protect Max Von Sydow's archaeological dig. It's a perfectly workable premise for an adventure but it never really works. It's a schizophrenic film at best, and not just because of the usual international co-production vagaries: Gene Hackman is starring in a bleak, revisionist drama while Terence Hill is starring in an old-fashioned swashbuckler, and despite John Alcott's strikingly subdued photography neither strand quite works - not enough panache or too much depending on whose turn it is in the spotlight. The final (and only) battle scene is a particularly odd affair, with Hackman's character behaving very oddly indeed, depriving the audience of the expected climax in a way that seems more bizarre and just plain wrong than innovative.

Heavy pre-release cutting probably didn't help (the original US TV broadcast included a number of deleted sequences, including an additional battle scene), but this is more an interesting failure than a successful reinvention of a subgenre it all but killed off for good. It certainly managed to kill of director Dick Richards' career.

The fullframe DVD is a decent transfer with no loss of picture area (although the Australian DVD is in widescreen), but there are no extras: a shame, as it would have been interesting to see the deleted scenes, and the film's trailer was very good.

4.0 out of 5 stars Almost Touching Gold 11 Jan 2013
By Hugh "Tab Lloyd" Otterburn
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is a well-produced and finely crafted film - the quality on DVD is excellent, you almost feel that you are with the characters. It has some outstandingly emotional moments - a young French mother starting to sing La Marseillaise in the Paris railway station had me almost in tears right at the beginning of the film - but there are one or two occasions when the story starts to lose it. The whole plot is entirely credible, even if a couple of scenes leave you with your jaw on the floor and there are some truly magical moments to compensate. The cast is outstanding with perhaps the sole exception of Gene Hackman - his role really should have been given to someone with a tad more empathy for French culture, whereas Ian Holm gives a surprisingly fine portrayal of El Krim the Moroccan tribal leader. If you are looking for constant action, then maybe this is not your bag, but this has class written all over it and I am more than happy to have it in my DVD collection for a repeat viewing in the future :-)

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good 1 April 2007
By Borderline obsessive
Format:DVD
This film is very good, it is a story of the French Foreign Legion who have to go to an archaeological expedition. The acting is brilliant, Hackman shines, as he does in everything, Terence Hill shows off his acrobatics, and Deneuve lends much needed humanity to the film. It is a very overlooked film and one that I would recommend. The dvd has no extras though, but is worth getting as the DVD has been hard to find in the past.
