Blood & Gold is one of the films that puts you in the heart of World War II but in a way that's different from the traditional films we see from that period where we see only fire and explosion. The film tells the story of a German soldier named Heinrich, who decides to desert the Nazi army because he's not convinced about the war. Unfortunately, the Nazis capture him and attempt to execute him. Before he dies, a peasant named Ilse saves him, and the adventure begins.
The story isn't just about war, but also about a golden traesure hidden in a small village and the Nazis are determined to get it by any means they could necesary. Heinrich and Ilse suddenly find themselves in the middle of this conflict and must confront Nazi soldiers who are willing to kill anyone to get their hands on the gold that they reach. Events escalate rapidly and every moment is filled with tension and action and that is what we will see in movie.
The film combines action and drama and even dark comedy at times and the fight scenes are expertly crafted, and the music and cinematography give a strong sense of the time period in which the story takes place.
If you like war films that aren't just about battles but also about the people involved in them Blood & Gold will captivate you from the first scene. The story is suspenseful the fights are well and there are human touches that make the film not just action. The ending is also unexpected and leaves an impact long after the film ends and you will watch it again as it will leave a fingerprint in you with its action and drama that was so good and wonderful.
