Rating: C --
Waters down Norman Mailer's 721 page salty 1948 bestseller novel based on his own experiences during WW II in the South Pacific.

Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Rating: 3/4 --
A flawed yet fascinating motion picture, one that traffics in gritty intensity yet also makes room for the expected concessions to convention and cliche.

Creative Loafing
A good, appropriately ape-like cast working through two hours and ten minutes to a moral and moderately happy ending that looks (when you compare it with the tone of the rest) unbearably contrived.

The Spectator
Description by OLDIES.com:
Raymond Massey and Cliff Robertson play officers whose opposing views on military leadership are the two poles between which a platoon's fate is stretched during the war of the Pacific. Massey's Gen. Cummings advocates fear as the guide to goading men to face death, whereas Robertson's Lt. Hearn vehemently disagrees. Hearn is hard-pressed, however, to find the better nature within the sadistic Sgt. Croft (Aldo Ray), whose own wartime ethos seems to be pure hatred.
