Rating:  - Brilliant low-budget film ignored for far too long!
I am not a fan of war films. However, a friend brought this DVD to my attention, and I was riveted by the performances and the script.
The setting is the Battle of the Bulge. Eddie Albert brilliantly portrays a cowardly captain. Lee Marvin is a colonel who totally ignores the mistakes made by Albert, thereby ignoring the safety of the platoon for which he is ultimately responsible. The platoon, however, is lead by Jack Palance, who takes full responsibility for his men. Palance has been ... Read More
Rating: - Fantastic War Movie
This is a fantastic war movie. I wish someone would use the computer graphics to fix up the tanks to make them more authentic and call it "Attack revisted" or something. The actoring is with out par. I really know people with personalities like these.
This movie has so many good points that alot of others lack. Alot of war movies the enemy soldiers don't even bother to hide or duck. Its pretty laughable when that happens. I suppose they are just actors and don't know any better. The enemy ... Read More
Rating: - One of the Best War Flicks of All Time
This ranks right up there with Paths of Glory with Kirk Douglas. The story lines are somewhat similar. In the heat of battle junior officers sieze command from the deranged senior officer. And the endings catch you off guard. The casting is impeccable, but Lee Marvin is fabulous in my humble opinion.
Rating:  - Attack
Great cast, They do an outstanding job. I was a little disappointed in that I though there would be more battle action. However, still rate it a 3.5
Rating: - Best War Movie!
I saw this movie as a child in the 60's and I never forgot it. I recently bought it and now I know why. It is exceptional. The cast is incredible, and the acting, especially Jack Palance, is remarkable. The human drama is what drives this film, but the battle scenes, without all the special effects available today, are, in my view, more credible and riveting than what I've seen in more recent war films. You do not have to be a WWII buff to love this movie.
