User Reviews

A gem from a time when most of the actors were actual WW2 vets. Well developed characters and an exciting adventure story.

Cameron Campbell

Classic war film from my fathers childhood that he then showed to me. Great movie, fond memories.

Lee Marvin leads a group of underdog degenerates into battle. Great cast and exciting story. A huge influence on countless movies made since

I can see where it inspired much greater films but even for its time… it’s a pretty average movie. Cassavetes is a stand out though!

Excellent 60’s war movie great cast and story still holds up well today

Manages to make the gritty action fun and the cast is very entertaining. Very solid

Vincenzo Ridente

Very enjoyable war movie with an amazing cast

A fairly dated film about a platoon of criminals on a suicide mission. Despite its age it is pretty action packed and entertaining.

Good idea with solid execution. Marvin was well suited to lead. Enjoyed Sutherland’s gags. Definitely influenced Inglorious Basterds.

Classic action war movie with great cast, worth watching
