4/5
Though it's a bit short on context and detail, the movie boasts a host of riveting interviews with the men caught behind enemy lines in the brutal winter battle at North Korea's Chosin Reservoir. Go to Full Review Mike Hale New York Times 09/10/2010

Miraculous, cinematically dramatic escapes abound in these stories, but there's no triumph in the eyes of the tellers -- only guilt, remorse and pain. Go to Full Review Eric Monder Film Journal International 09/10/2010

06/30/2019 One of if not the best military documentary i have ever seen. It's not so much about the grand strategy or strategic decisions made during the Korean War. It's instead filled with very personal interviews with various soldiers and marines who fought in the specific battle of the Chosin Reservoir. The story's these men tell goes beyond anything Iv ever heard real veterans talk about on camera before. See more 05/27/2014 AHC 5/25/14 Well done doc that captures the horrible conditions faced during this battle. The many first hand accounts tell the story at the foxhole level. Amazing what men can endure. See more 11/08/2012 One of the most moving documentaries I have ever seen. Although it lacked some of the background information and technical production seen in documentaries like Ken Burns the war, it makes up for this in moving stories told from the Marines and Soldier who fought and survived the battle at Chosin Resevoir. See more 10/04/2012 To me this was really impressive to see the war footage they put in on here. See more 07/04/2012 It was kill or be killed. Washington ignored the Chinese involvement and the Chosin became a struggle to survive for the Marines. These are their stories 60 years later. Incredibly horrible. See more 02/06/2012 One of the best films about Korean War I have ever seen. Makes you proud to be an American. See more Read all reviews
