Blake- N @PBSAniDom Jun 8 Escape to Athena is an okay 70s film that offers a mix of adventure, war, and light comedy. It has an interesting premise and a talented cast, which help make the movie an enjoyable enough watch even when it doesn't fully live up to its potential. The film benefits from its charming old-school style and some entertaining moments throughout. While the pacing can be inconsistent and certain parts don't leave a strong impact, there is still enough here to keep fans of classic 1970s cinema engaged from start to finish. Overall, Escape to Athena is a decent film that falls right in the middle for me. It has its strengths, particularly its atmosphere and cast, but it never becomes truly memorable. Still, it's a perfectly fine way to spend a couple of hours if you enjoy older adventure films. 5/10. See more Alain E @AlainE Oct 18 This is totally ridiculous from the get go. Insulting German officers while you are hiding in Greece was the secret to success! I am Greek and I wanted to watch it, but this is pure torture. I lasted 5:50 minutes.

It is James Bond meets the Third Reich with James Bond having a ridiculous German accent. But throw in Sonny Bono, Elliot Gould, and Telly Savalas, and it is a comedy with straight man, David Niven. In the end, the movie is entertaining!! See more Simon H @RT98170279 12/22/2024 I watch this every year near Christmas. It has become a bit of a staple. If you don't take it too seriously it is a lot of fun. A good script with highlights from Eliott Gould and a serious bit of work from Telly Savalas. Much better than some of today's offerings.

A great cast, including Roger Moore, Telly Savalas, David Niven and Richard Roundtree. Filmed on the beautiful Greek island of Rhodes. This movie is so much fun! See more Read all reviews
