What The Wild Geese Is About
Retired mercenaries are assembled to extract a leader from an African country, and the job does not go as planned. The adventure structure is cleanly built: the gathering of the team, the training, the operation. What makes it interesting is the way it oscillates between presenting men who fight for money as heroes and interrogating them, an indecision tied to the politics of the moment it was made in. The presence of Burton, Moore and Harris together is the main draw, and none of them takes the part too seriously. Its production circumstances drew heavy criticism afterwards.
