Nice effects though.
This is an astonishing documentary that will wring your heart while it bends your mind
The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
There have been some very good Korean War flicks..."Target Zero" really isn't one of them. Instead, the film is pretty dull...as well as ridiculous.The film begins with a small band of American soldiers finding a hot blonde (Peggy Castle) as they try to get back to their unit. This part of the film really annoyed me, as the well-coiffed lady NEVER would have been in this situation and it seemed beyond just a bit contrived. Soon, they come upon a British tank and its crew and a bit later they come upon an American Lieutenant and some more men. Together, this rag-tag group of men...and a woman...need to fight their way back to safety.This film seemed pretty dull and offered little in the way of excitement. It also had some silly dialog and never seemed the least bit credible or interesting.
Well, My father was in this picture though he is an un-credited extra. He was one of several soldiers that died on a hill, Can not even tell which one he is Not too bad of a movie for when it was made, a bit silly at times especially the romantic parts...Yeah romance in a war movie...A bit Cheesy
Spot the Upcoming Stars is as Good as it Gets in this Standard, Clichéd, Static, and Pretentiously Penned Korean War Flick. The Dialog Tries Mightily to be Poetic and Insightful but is Nothing but Lame, Sophomoric, and Silly.Richard Conte Leads this Band of Stereotypes, who are Introduced in a Prolog with a Jingoistic Melting Pot of American Soldiers Brought Together to Fight the Invading Commies. This is a Typical 1950's Movie About Fighting Men. Made Just a Few Years After the Conflict Ended, Seems to Offer a Forced and Apologetic Tribute to the 50,000 Americans Who Perished in the Stalemate.Peggie Castle is Recruited to Nurse the Wounded and is a Striking Blonde Bombshell that is Somehow Found on the Frontlines Amidst the Action but Never Loses Her Made Up Fifties Style Face and Hairdoo. While Nice to Look At Among the Goofy Grunts, She is Only There for Love (and marriage) Interest for the Soon to be Returning Lieutenant, Have Some Baby Boomers, and Live Happily Ever After.Overall, a Somewhat Bland Movie with One Good Action Sequence and can Only be Recommended for War Movie Completest.
Usually Leonard Maltin and I agree on movies....Not this one. I have seen it perhaps four or five times. An American unit, sitting astride a strategic hilltop, plugging the Main Line of Resistance, is over-run and wiped out. Only a patrol and some stragglers picked up along the way are able to reach the now-undefended hilltop in time.I found this story to ring true....with good characterizations and plot developments. Sure, the enemy is the two-dimensional Yellow Menace....that's standard with fifties-era movies.....but the mix of up-and-coming young actors is in itself worth the time to view this film.A good story, well-acted, worthy of a look. And quite useful to someone trying to get a real look at war in Korea after the conflict settled into a stalemate. I recommend it.
