Poorly done Korean War drama, 27 May 2002
1/10
Author: bux from Tecumseh ok

During the fifties, Hollywood displayed the ability to crank out some very good "B" war flicks-"The Steel Helmet"(1951), "The Silent Raiders"(1954, and "Paratroop Command"(1958)-however this one is not good. Surprisingly, we have here a cast and crew of tried and true low budget movies, but the bad script, miniscule budget, and lack of direction heads this one South fast. The script and direction never allow the viewer to feel any empathy for the characters, the attempts at G.I. humor fall flat. Ireland seems to be walking through this one in a stupor and it was to be the last big screen appearance for McCallister, who for so many years played the Kid in big budget productions. Maybe he saw the early rushes of this one and decided to call it quits. No one could blame him!
