Show more >> War Blade takes you on a wild ride through the dark corridors of a Nazi bunker with agent Banks leading the charge. The film is packed with action, but it also tries to hit you right in the feels. There are moments where the tension is palpable, and you can't help but root for Banks as he navigates danger.
