World War II. An impossible mission ... The fate of the Allied invasion hanging in the balance ... 12 men with nothing left to lose. Now the fate of the free world depends on a group of convicted murderers, thieves and thugs--The Dirty Dozen. Twelve American military prisoners are offered parole--if they complete a suicide mission behind enemy lines just before D-Day.

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.

Sean Axmaker

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.

New Pittsburgh Courier

Walter Burrell

A well-directed and highly enjoyable movie which, as a whole, deserves the high crest of financial success it's currently enjoying.

Director Aldrich manages to zero in on the griping and grime, the chaos and cohesiveness of Americans at war, and in so doing, makes The Dirty Dozen a clean hit that packs the highest-echelon example of wit and wallop.
