See more 04/24/2011 Halls of Montezuma is not a bad movie, It has the great thrilling war tactics and smart dialogue, it's a movie that maybe plays to safe, just a ordinary unoriginal war picture, but a good attempt. A bitter-sweet film, that somewhat satisfying from time to time. It doesn't offer us any new, except the confused Lt. Carl Anderson (Richard Widmark) who's very often takes painkillers before he goes into battle. Halls of Montezuma was directed by Lewis Milestone, the director who gave us the legendary war epic All Quiet on the Western Front disappoint in a gerne that he seems to be good in. See more 01/20/2011 Distinctly average movie filled with cliched characters that walks a thin line between square-jawed heroics and war-weary endurance. See more 08/09/2009 A load of yawns that make you wonder if you're actually watching a war movie. Actors that are normally quite solid play this one like its a high school drama project. As for plot you might end the film still wondering if it has one. See more Read all reviews
