Adelay C @27adeco Aug 26, 2026 I honestly expected more depth and complexity from this film, but it made its point perfectly clear in a very blunt manner. The senseless execution of the three men surprised me in its simplicity- a part of me expected them to be let off. Kirk Douglas is also very good as Colonel Dax!

Solid cast, led by Douglas, delivering a strong performance—backed by notable photography and a tight script. An early Kubrick effort, already showing his remarkable talent as a director, with a theme familiar to him: exposing the brutality, stupidity, and false heroics of war. Still, while it’s a good movie, it’s not a great one. The pacing drags, and it feels unemotional, as if the story was approached a bit too intellectually. Very watchable, though. See more Mike M @RT75905494 Jul 17, 2026 Hands down, Stanley Kubrick's finest film (and yes, I give Space Odyssey five stars as well). In my experience as a film student (Temple U) and a one-time film critic (in Philly 'alternative newspaper' in the 70s) and just as a movie lover, I feel that this is both the best war movie and the best anti-war movie ever made. It really is a must-see. See more Chris W @chriswerner83 Jul 16, 2026 Excellent filming style. Great acting. Feels like a pleasure just watching this. See more Alejandro E @Alex970 Jul 10, 2026 Directed by a then-debutant Stanley Kubrick, this war drama based on real events was one of the first to break with convention, functioning more as an anti-war statement, with an outstanding performance by Kirk Douglas.
