Reviews for The Big Red One
... one of the great films not just about WWII, but the experience of war itself.
The Big Red One: The Reconstruction... stands as a riveting renovation of one of the most underappreciated war dramas of our time.
A very good film reconstructed into a classic, Fuller's WWII epic is not to be missed.
