Based on the standard “Three Little Pigs” story, this quite entertainingly militarises that tale and then by nazifying the dreaded wolf, it gives us a character to loathe as he effortlessly reduces the straw house (“Gone with the Wind”) and then the wooden one, complete with outhouse, before arriving at the more heavily armed stone one. Much like the invasions of Europe themselves, this depicts the ease with which the vulnerable were overrun, and then with the wolf at it’s more voraciously confident, it meets more of it’s match and the fight starts coming to him instead. The pigs are annoying, sorry, but they are. However, they aren’t so crucial to the message here and though I would quite cheerfully have seen them turned into lupine lunch, they do prove quite a fitting characterisation for those resisting aggression. There are plenty of bullets and bombs flying about and for a while it’s quite enjoyable but the last few minutes take it just a little too close to jingoistic territory for me and those rather overwhelmed it’s earlier more subtle humour. Still, it has a grittiness to it that’s a bit different.
