[@darrengilbert7438]

Decent movie that i had never heard of before. Growing up, I used to love watching the old black and white war movies and westerns.

[@rjglennon2219]

Same as mate.

I hate when they color in black and white movies.

Glad I stmbled onto this great movie. Just as good as the best.

An unknown gem. A soldier's movie.

[@stevo196two9]

Oh my goodness her post of this. Thank you so much. What an enjoyable little suspenseful movie no cussing no sex no tourist violence just the upload shots of a man acting. They don’t make drama movies like they did in the 50s anymore. This was a very believable little war movie thank you so much.

[@robtw88]

Glad you liked it!

[@TedBronson1918]

@@robtw88 I like these movies too Rob, but I also miss the good old "sexploitation" movies. I always loved seeing scantily clad women with bared breasts bouncing across the big screen... any chance of reviving those ?

[@chicsartorial]

WOW - wotta GREAT war movie, and all because of pretty fantastic acting by the main cohort, and while NOT a new plot, they PUSHED IT to another level, and it really came together. KInda cerebral, YET action packed ! A rare gem. All on a low budget. Wow...

[@Thompson-xp1mk]

What became of the American corporal who had saved the American captain? I am a South Korean who always thanks American soldiers for having helped us in Korean War . I would live as a slave under the dictatorship of North Korea if they had not helped South Korea at that time .

Just happened on this ...... interesting movie ....... no big budget, no super stars ......but a solid story ........enjoyed 😁👍❤🇺🇸

[@robtw88]

Thanks for watching

[@jonwatson7126]

What do you mean Jack Ging is a super star

[@johnnyboomer4724]

……….!

[@jimjordan5630]

Maybe no "John Wayne's, Clint Eastwood's or Jimmy Stewart's" but several of the actors, such as cooking and others had great careers. One, the actor that played Pumphrey, had a pretty good career as a young man in the late 30's into the 40's and 50's. If you still Google the car if Sniper Ridge you can see them and click their pic for the Wikipedia link for them. The guy that played Tonto was the same guy that played Manolito oh The High Chaparral. Just saying.

I did recognize the faces of the actors who played Cpl Sharack, Cpl Pumphrey, and MSGT Sweatish. They and the two actors playing the Captain and Lieutenant gave excellent performances.

[@aerialcat1]

@Bill23799 : pretty much, but it was a damn good flick even so, wouldn’t you agree?

[@Bill23799]

@@aerialcat1 I agree it was not bad. I just wish in some war film they would stop bunching up on a foot patrol. A hand grenade has a 5 meter kill radius. That is why we were trained to keep 5 meter intervals.

[@greekveteran2715]

I had that exact break out that Shurak had in the begining of this movie,exactly the same scenario with mine, only I didn't go to the doctors, I went straight to my officer and threw my mobile phone,right to an officer's head. Thank God I missed him by 2 inches and I only got 1 moth jail , that I didn't even serve because they never gave to me, any days off, of the one moth that I was entitled as a soldier. I had 2 really rough years in my whole service, that I 'll never forget.

[@AlexejSvirid]

God made all people from one man, Adam. All people are brothers. Unfortunately, the lying and corrupt clergy is silent about this. They even bless Racism and Nazism in the name of God. The problem is that the Devil rules the world. He is a liar and a murderer. This is why deception and violence are everywhere. This is the reason why people cry over stray cats and hate their brothers. This is the reason why Hitler got the power, but Christ was executed as "blasphemer" and "rioter" by denunciation of clergy. This is the reason why the whole world is Sodom. That's why we have the Gospel about the Kingdom of God. Jehovah will put everything in order. He has anointed the king, Jesus Christ. The dead will rise and we will meet our loved ones again! :-)

[@anthonytsapralis9393]

I served as a Company Commander in the 10th MTN. We deployed to Mogadishu with the Marines in early '93. I have seen fear in people's eyes in training and combat ( or what they thought was combat). I could never live up to the stories my grandfather told from WW I. Or my uncle in Korea. But, I have seen men and women crack, in other units and I mean, cocoa for cocoa puffs crazy. It is weird. I ended up confronting the other company commander at the freaking airport walking around in his underwear and his 9mm saying he was going to kill the old man (BN CDR).And he didn't see half of what some of my soldier's saw. I loved my soldier they were the best I could ever ask for.

Soldier who fired rifle to wake em up was character ACTOR JACK GOING who had his own TV series along side WENDEL COREY called """ELEVENTH HOUR""" in mid 1960s**** and STANLEY CLEMENTS took over for LEO GORCY on the EAST SIDE KIDS 1950s films****

[@thomasbridges7323]

Hey not a bad movie thanks

[@beerdrinker6452]

Very good movie.

[@garyjarvis2730]

A pretty accurate depiction of what really occurred in many instances. When men were drafted they didn't automatically buy into the military "rah rah". In fact, there were many instances of rather dumb officers being shot by their own men. War was not the disciplined arena but a general free for all when things started to go sideways. This movie successfully captures the essence of that experience.

i like, good drama, its like watching a "combat" episode but in Korea..

[@cw2gtc]

Wonder if that was maybe a pilot episode for something?

[@ralphh.2200]

It was unusual to see flak jackets (as correctly worn) when the movie started.The end showed why they were actually incorporated; not for period costume accuracy, but for story line development...

[@chrishubbard1442]

They never considered that there might be more than one mine besides the one the Captain was standing on? They all just go strolling out there like that's all there is. Just the one mine.

[@MarkVickers-xq9si]

This war is NOT "forgotten . My fellow Americans did most of the fighting .We have Some realization of the hell you went through . We're NOT all ignoramuses .

[@michaelallison1255]

good flick! everybody had zippo lighters-a GI"s dream and c-ration pound cake.!😃😀

[@Ubique2927]

A common misconception prevailed that the S-mine would not detonate until its victim stepped off the trigger. This fallacy was propagated by incorrect United States propaganda during World War II. The mine would detonate whether the trigger was released or not. Standing still or attempting to run from the S-mine would be equally dangerous. The most effective way to survive the mine's detonation would not be to flee but to fall to the ground lying face down as quickly as possible.

[@Peter-uy3ti]

Thanks, I'll try to remember that next time I step on an s mine

Allan Marvin. Brother of Lee Marvin? Looks just like him.

[@13thBear]

Damn, that was some kinda movie. Those soldiers were in bad shape. Poor morale, poor leadership, from the battalion commander on down to the corporals and privates. Its a wonder they survived the war the way they were going. Notice they only had the one sergeant-the master sergeant and he was as bad off as all the officers. Chirac was the only guy that had any courage among all the troops there. Chirac saved that Captain's life and that Captain really didn't deserve the courage shown to him. The Captain was a coward and a bully misusing his rank.

[@ypaulbrown]

wow, did not expect that ending......well done Cpl. Sharack

[@jerrycoleman882]

First scene: The last thing you do is jump up out of a fox hole when you hear a gunshot.😂 This movie will be entertaining!!

[@jerrycoleman882]

In the next scene, during the shootout, Shurack had his helmet on then off, then on. I'm surprised he didn't stop to shave. 😂

[@jerrycoleman882]

In the third scene, the doctor didn't even bother to check him out, just grabbed him and demanded he walk back to the front line .😂

[@jerrycoleman882]

Next scene the Sarg admits he's a friggin coward . Accompanied with the music, I guess we're supposed to cry.😂

guess Pier didnt learn anything from WW2. never wear your rank in the field because of snipers hitting officers 1st.

[@rocketscientisttoo]

I don't know how low the budget was for this comedy, or farce, but it made me chuckle a few times. I wonder if Korea was just a convenient backdrop for this soap opera that was written to give the impression that our military is filled with incompetents? Typical of Hollywood though.

Not able to last even 10 minutes. Script is trite and acting is about as good as my 5th grade boys club when we played war with wooden guns. Music is about the best part.

Rarely seen such nonsense. It's a shame about the footage.

[@allandavis8201]

I had already started on a comment about the military behaviour in this film and then realised that for the sake of the story they had to behave completely differently to the real military, and that is completely forgivable given that they cast and crew are not Hollywood “A” listers, but are making a great film that owes that to them, and I would imagine that the budget wasn’t too big either, hats off to them all. There seems to be a intriguing subplot concerning the Sgt and the newly arrived Cpl that somehow involves the Capt, something from the WWII theatre’s of operations, whatever it is, if it’s a subplot, I hope that it explained soon, my eyelids are drooping and I don’t want to miss the action, I know I can watch it again but I prefer to get all the way through first time 🕰️ around. I got my explanation, it is a good twist in the story. I wonder why nobody heard the Korean soldier creeping up on the NFG (New F…..g Guy), if the audience could hear it then the NFG and the rest of the patrol should have as well, even more so when they were fighting.
