Rating:  - Orinoco Flow
"Murphy's War" follows Murphy's Law as far as movies are concerned. Everything that can go wrong does. Spectacularly. An Irishman with an awful Irish accent? Check. Hammy acting from said Celt? Check. Plodding action? Check. Embarrassing floppy hat on the lead? Check. It's about an Irishman, Murphy (Peter O'Toole) who miraculously survives a U-Boat attack in Venezuela. In the midst of the jungle, he becomes an obsessive madman... not unlike the other movies being filmed in South America at the time, ... Read More
Rating: - HIGHLY ENTERTAINING!...ALL'S FAIR IN LOVE AND WAR!
Peter O'Toole deserves much of the credit in this improbable but, entertaining tale of a lone survivor of a German Submarine attack who would like nothing more than to send those "Dirty b a s t a r d s!" to H E L L in a hand basket! This might be where Stallone got the idea for Rambo, even though the reason for Murphy's personal war was a little more valid than Rambo's. The DVD transfer looks very good and I'm glad this is available on DVD.

MURPHY'S WAR is an amusing World War II story in that it takes place far from Europe, the North Atlantic, or other venues where we are used to seeing the Allies battle the Germans. In this film we find a German U-Boat hunting targets off the coast and along the inlets of tropical Venezuela. The war in Europe is mere days from ending, yet the U-Boat commander shows no hint of reigning back his attacks. Against this submarine threat is one man, Murphy, with a thirst for revenge.

When I ordered this DVD, you did warn me that possible I could not play this DVD in my region (The Netherlands). After receiving the DVD it became clear that your warning was right, so I cannot give a review. Do you know a method to see Murphy's War without going to the USA?
Sincerly,

Rating:  - Long Dragged out and boring
This was a very poor story and it dragged out so long and was not very realistic. You have no idea where the story takes place and it was so unbelievable. Peter O'Toole is not much of an actor here, just goes about screaming like an idiot. I do not recommend this unless you are a O'Toole die hard.
