The One Eyed Soldiers

About This Movie

The One Eyed Soldiers is a gripping blend of action and crime set against the backdrop of a United Nations operation gone awry. The film opens with that shocking moment—the descent of Dr. Charles Berens, who chooses a tragic end over his captors. It sets a dark, suspenseful tone that prevails throughout. The pacing is quite interesting, with moments of tension interspersed with sudden bursts of violence that keep you on edge. The performances, especially from Andrew Faulds as Colonel Ferrer, carry a sense of urgency that feels very raw. Practical effects, while not always polished, lend a gritty realism that's often missing in today’s CGI-heavy fare. There's a unique atmosphere here that captures the chaos of the 60s political landscape, making it a notable piece for collectors who appreciate the era's cinema.

The One Eyed Soldiers has seen limited releases over the years, primarily on VHS and a few DVD editions, which makes it somewhat scarce. Many collectors are drawn to its unique blend of genres and the socio-political commentary of its time. It’s a title that often flies under the radar, but for those who appreciate gritty 60s cinema, it holds a certain allure that makes it worth hunting down.
