…slapdash, funny and deeply irreverent war-comedy…Donald Sutherland’s pot-smoking tank commander Oddball steals the show as the kind of spaced-out, psychedelic counter-culture character that absolutely didn’t exist in WWII...

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 20, 2024

The usually unemotive Eastwood is more engaged than usual, clearly having a whale of a time with a fruity support cast.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 12, 2020

Even with Eastwood in the title role, this poorly scripted film would surely have fallen apart under the weight of its own heavy handedness were it not for the presence of Donald Sutherland.

| Jan 14, 2020

An attempt to blend the war epic and the caper film that doesn't quite come off.

| Nov 19, 2013

The action is flashy and intermittent, deliberately wallowing in a mire of revisionist grot, churned up vistas of European mud. Time has made it more intuitive and caustic a film, than its daft reputation might suggest.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 19, 2013

A terrific guys-on-a-mission movie.

| Nov 19, 2013

This humorous, lively, and entertaining picture could be described as a caper film set against a WW II backdrop.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Nov 19, 2013

...the filmmakers clearly intended the movie to be a carefree caper, and if one views it that way, it can pass an entertaining few hours.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Jul 1, 2010

A strange but mostly satisfying hybrid of WWII actioner and anti-war satire... [Blu-ray]

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 6, 2010

Nearly satirical in its overall effect, plot caroms between cliche dogface antics, detailed and gratuitous violence, caper melodramatics, and outrageous anachronism.

| Oct 18, 2008

Much fun amongst WWII w/Eastwood, Savalas, Sutherland, and Rickles.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 19, 2008

It was too crudely done to have much effect as satire.

| Original Score: C- | Dec 31, 2006

Interesting only in so far as it reveals Eastwood's nonchalant attitude to the blockbuster.

Isn't really about the Second World War, but rather about the senselessness of the Vietnam War . . .

| Mar 15, 2004

Kelly's Heroes" is a movie that tries hard to be something for everyone and succeeds mostly at being uneven and long.

| Nov 20, 2003

Very entertaining war movie with just the right touch of Vietnam-era cynicism
