Critic Reviews for Too Late the Hero
All Critics (11) | Top Critics (4) | Fresh (8) | Rotten (3) | DVD (1)
The most aggravating thing about Too Late the Hero is that Aldrich is a film maker of some accomplishment.
An okay World War II melodrama, featuring Michael Caine and Cliff Robertson as antagonists who come to respect each other in the course of destroying a Jaanese radio transmitter.
The action has its moments (with the patrol's paranoia fed by taunting messages from Japanese loudspeakers hidden in the jungle), and the bantering dialogue is often very funny.
Although committed to the notion that war is an inclusive system of betrayals, the film subverts that notion and settles instead for some fashionable ironies and remarkably conventional jungle warfare displays.
Finds veteran action director Aldrich resting on his laurels, delivering a rather bland retread of past success.
A Dirty Dozen formula macho war drama about war as betrayal.
