philip w A good war film - well acted by all - don't miss Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/12/22 Full Review Audience Member It's taught and slow, like the platoon we are following. It delves deep into the limits of endurance and physiological strain. However it's just not very exciting or engaging which makes the film quite a let down. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member A tough, dogged look at the psychological beating combat troops endure. Film has special meaning for me because my mother named me Aldo Ray after seeing this movie in the summer of 1958. I was born two months later on September 6th --- coincidently, the events in the film all took place on the same date. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Not the greatest movie, but very enjoyable. And attempts to touch on more complex emotions and themes than your typical 1950s war movie. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review s r Harsh and realistic, not exactly a feel good film. Much seemed poorly staged. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member A "Lost Patrol" movie full of standard wartime action ranging from the reasonable to the logic defying absurd. We are being stalked by 4 snipers, 17 of us equiped with heavy weapons, grenades galore and a flame-thrower, yet our rear guard, 1 man who is lagging so far behind us nobody realises it when, having stopped to pick flowers (< Yes, PICK FLOWERS), the snipers sneek up on him an stab him to death. Last sniper, on finally being flushed out and dieing, uses his last breath to call in artillary support, which makes you wonder why he did not do this in the first place. We continue on in the militarilly illogical mode until the final battle scene, which itself defies military logic, by which time one has lost caring. Couple of the men crack-up under the pressure, as someone always does in one of these films. There's a minefield to contend with, another stereo-type they have not forgot about. A lot of gutso hard-man talk, a lot of gunfire, explosions etc ... Pork Chop Hill is the much better film concerning the Korean War. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews
