    **_Action-packed ‘B’ WW2 flick with Stuart Whitman_** As the Western Allies advance into Germany in 1945, the Soviet Red Army is advancing from the East with both sides wanting to apprehend a notable rocket scientist. An American captain (Whitman) heads a special force of Allies. "The Last Escape" is similar to “The Bridge at Remagen” and “Hornets’ Nest,” both released around the same time, except that this one would take 3rd place due to questionable execution and editing of the action scenes. It just comes across low-rent and quickly put-together. Nevertheless, there’s lots of action...
