Maclean's Magazine

Clyde Gilmour

Its probings into the night thoughts of warriors are fairly shallow stuff, but the battles are realistic and the all-male cast happily lacks the usual comedian from Brooklyn.

Fixed Bayonets is a moving war drama and may well remain the best of the films about the Korean conflict.

It takes a while for Fixed Bayonets! to build steam, but the second half is a landmine field of devastating setpieces, punctuated with the threat of sudden, overwhelming and even self-inflicted violence.

Masterful

The grunts 'talk the talk' and the action sequences are bloody good.
