Not Peckinpah's best, but still powerful.
February 27, 2003
Peckinpah indulges in endless combat scenes (this was his only war movie), which try the patience of viewers who came for the real story.

Goes to extremes to paint a picture of war as insane.

Its complex and vivid portrayal of the absurdity of war, however, prompted none other than Orson Welles to write Peckinpah and proclaim it the finest antiwar film he had ever seen.

This was Peckinpah's last important work and his only war movie.

War is hell, but for Peckinpah it's also the sadist's Olympian joke

This war film is also Peckinpah's last great movie.

Mr. Peckinpah's least interesting, least personal film in years, a hysterically elaborate, made-in-Yugoslavia war spectacle, the work of international financiers and a multinational cast.
