I'm sure this was a game-changer when it was released.

Watching it in 2020 - some 51 years later - it hasn't aged at all well. And it is a tough watch at a 2h30 runtime.

Richard Burton is not convincing. Eastwood is young but largely wooden. The plot is dragged out and convoluted. The script perfunctory.

The last hour was the longest I've had all year!

I can see the influence on modern films. I wonder how a rewatch of The Dirty Dozen would feel.... Similarly underwhelming?

But then I think of how The Great Escape is still highly watchable and from a similar era.

Not for me.


5/10 (accounting for its influence and age)
