A Gritty, Tough Film
This is one gritty and tough film - right from the start.
Capt. Richard Lance (Gregory Peck) is one hard-nosed cookie - almost dis-likeable for most of the film but in the end he does show us another side of himself, a side that if came out earlier in the film it would be debatable as to if they would have survived. I think the tougher side of Capt. Lance is the side that did keep most of them alive.
I get a claustrophobic feeling while watching this film because the group of men became stuck in old fort and surrounded by their foe for most of the film. Their water supply running out and time ticking away they are attacked randomly and it's in the end that Capt. Lance redeems himself to his soldiers and they are freed from their entrapment.
A good film that is brutal for it's time era.
8/10
