Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
A group of conscripted convicts, most already destined for death row, are drafted to go on a near-suicide mission with the understanding that if the Nazis don't kill them, the U.S. Army won't, either. In the hands of hardboiled director Robert Aldrich and a tough-as-leather cast headed by Lee Marvin (as a troublesome U.S. Army major), that's all the plot that's needed to make one rip-roaring World War II action flick. Marvin's mission is two-fold: first turn his dozen prisoners into a fighting unit and then turn them loose on a French chateau occupied by partying German officers. His crime-minded charges include John Cassavetes as a chronic malcontent, Telly Savalas as a ready-to-blow psycho, Donald Sutherland as a lame-brained lummox, and Charles Bronson and then-just-retired NFL superstar Jim Brown as a couple of clutch performers. The first half of the film allows the colorful cast of character actors to have their fun as they get their tails whipped into shape and develop shaky bonds with their commander. The second part is all action, as the culprit commandos wreck havoc and then run for their lives. Despite the fact that few of the "heroes" survive the bloodbath, the message here isn't that war is hell. Rather, it seems to be: war can be a hell of a good time... if you've got nothing to lose. --Steven Stolder

My Father-in-law has been looking for this movie "The Dirty Dozen" and hasn`t been able to find it anywhere so he mentioned it to us and I went right to Amazon.com and ordered it.A done deal. I`ll have to say we did go to Best Buy first but they didn`t have it. I promise next time I want something I`ll just go to Amazon first. He loves the movie and I bet he lets us watch it too.
Thank You

I've been catching up on movies I missed when they first came out, and last night
finally watched THE DIRTY DOZEN. Sad to say, it appears to be showing its age. The
Dirty Dozen, for example, are basically pussycats, with the notable exception of Telly Savalas. There's a lot of wince-inducing dialogue (Ernest Borgnine: I've never
gone for all that "behind-the-lines" stuff. A soldier should wear a uniform!) And the film teeters awkwardly between Boys And Their Toys comedy, and Blast ... Read More

One of Lee Marvin's greatest movies as the leader of 12 convicts. Great cast very good war action movie.

Train them! Excite them! Arm them!...Then turn them loose on the Nazis! Charles Bronson, Donald Sutherland, Telly Sevallas, and the rest of a group of GI's all of whom are imprisoned for various serious crimes get a "deal" from Lee Marvin -- attack a German R & R center full of brass. If you live you get a pardon, if you don't it doesn't matter. Ernest Borgnine plays the role of the general who sells the idea to Marvin. This was shot about the time that Bornine was playing Quinton McHale in McHale's ... Read More
