Critics Consensus: Amoral on the surface and exuding testosterone, The Dirty Dozen utilizes combat and its staggering cast of likable scoundrels to deliver raucous entertainment.

Reviews

Film Frenzy

Matt Brunson

There was no shortage of grand-slam WWII action flicks in the 1960s; this is one of the best.

The Dirty Dozen is every bit that an epic war thriller with an all-star cast should be.

There’s action aplenty and male bonding under fire, but with a real dark side: [Lee] Marvin’s final solution just seems nasty, not the way we’re used to seeing American heroes behave on the screen

An exciting war drama of World War II that will make the viewer cheer "the bad guys."

Notably absent any of the usual pieties about God and country or apple pie Americana, it is a thoroughly rotten picture in the most wonderful ways.
