A 1967 movie, 150 minutes in length, won 4 awards including best supporting actor, best editing, and best sound effects that year. According to the introduction of the actor George Kennedy in the opening of the DVD, the film failed to win the Oscar for Best Director because the director decided not to cut and drop the grenade, killing the German officer and his family in the bunker. In addition, the starring in this film, the film company likes John Wayne, but the director said that it is none other than Lee Marvin. From the film, Lee's performance is indeed excellent, but if you imagine it, John will play it, it should be wonderful.

The story is similar to a popular American TV series Garrison The Expendables. Lee Marvin played the role of Major Reisman because his mind was too straightforward and caused his superiors to dislike him. He was arranged to train and lead 12 serious prisoners to perform a few things. The task of surviving hope.
This film does not focus on higher entertainment, except for one prisoner who can speak German (the father of this person is a Russian, who worked in a German mining area, and learned half-baked German for his livelihood, let alone the German level of this person. In addition to), the others have no other specialties, and there is even a neurosis who must be a series of perverted rapes and murderers in peacetime.
But the film is still very compact and beautiful, and the narrative and rhythm are simply neat.
Almost no women appeared in the whole film (except for a period of recruiting prostitutes to celebrate the end of their training. Khan...) It

is worth mentioning that the young Donald Sarandon, the son is expensive for his father, and his son has been taken in 24 hours. Chinese film fans are familiar with it. Donald is taller, but the young man has a big round nose, round eyes and a long face, and he looks more like a comedian. His white hair when he was a big name seemed a bit colder than his son.

From the current point of view, fighting is obviously a performance, and the sensationalism is not enough, but its sharp style and hardcore rhythm are still worthy of appreciation.

    In fact, the focus of this film is the previous training part, but the last raid part is long, cut to ten minutes, the rhythm length is just right. The setting of the film is interesting, but since it is deep behind the German army, don't look for black players...

    In the previous American feature films, the words were very clear, the characters were also relatively clear, and there were many humorous laughs, which were relatively classic. However, there is too much paving in the front, so some space should be left behind.
