It's a routine 'lost patrol' war drama.

One of the best of the lost patrol movies, set in Korea in 1950, bleakly anti-heroic and prefiguring Milestone's Pork Chop Hill in the bitter irony of its climactic assault on a hill.

A razor-sharp use of environment. Though the territory is wild and unknown, Mann still emphasizes clarity of action over chaos.

War on the ground has rarely been done much better than this.

Mann and Yordan provide a work that lives up to its title, exploring the draining psychological impact of war and its physical rigours, as experienced by two central characters.
