DVD Synopsis
American Soldier (originally Der Amerikanische Soldat) was the third of Rainer Werner Fassbinder's "gangster trilogy." The film stars Karl Scheid as a German/American Vietnam veteran who takes a job as a hired assassin on behalf of the Munich crime lords. Scheid works both sides of the fence when three policemen engage him to knock off some awkward malcontents. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Editorial Review of DVD
Legendary German director Rainer Werner Fassbinder's 1970 film The American Soldier comes to DVD with a standard full-frame transfer. The German soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital Mono. English subtitles are accessible. Supplemental materials include trailers. Although there is little on this Wellspring release, those with an interest in German cinema should certainly find this title valuable. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide
