The film received mixed reviews, with praise for its action sequences and performances, particularly those of Lundgren and Rourke. However, some critics noted that it adhered closely to war movie tropes and lacked originality in its storytelling.
Overall, War Pigs provides a solid dose of wartime action and drama, appealing to fans of the genre who appreciate tales of unlikely heroes rising to the occasion in the face of overwhelming odds.
