Blood & Gold is a World War Two action movie on Netflix. Helmed by German filmmaker, Peter Thorwarth, Blood & Gold is an action-comedy thrill ride set in the final days of World War Two.
The movie follows a German soldier, Heinrich, who decides to desert in an attempt to see his daughter again. Heinrich's escape doesn't go as planned, and he ends up being left for dead for his crime.
However, he soon finds he has more in common with his rescuer, and the pair end up teaming up alongside a band of unlikely allies to take the fight to the squad of Nazi soldiers who are tearing up the village on the hunt for some hidden gold.
Don't go in expecting another war drama in the same vein as Netflix's Oscar-winning adaptation of All Quiet on the Western Front, though. Blood & Gold is billed more as a dark comedy, something that's made abundantly clear in the film's Grindhouse-style special trailer.
