    “Suicide Battalion” is a WWII B-movie built around a high-risk mission undertaken by men motivated less by heroism than by the promise of 72-hour leave and back pay. A perfunctory romantic rivalry is awkwardly folded into the plot, doing little to deepen the story. The production values are thin, but they suit the material; nothing here looks better than the script deserves.
