REVIEWS

Review by anonymous (posted on 15-Feb-2007)

Contrary to most reviews I have seen, this is one of Robert Mitchum's best efforts. Other reviewers have said that One Minute to Zero was remade as the Green Berets--NONSENSE! It was one of the first movies to show the early days of the Korean Conflict as it happened. Mitchum was at his best as the war weary Army Colonel who falls for the UN worker. He pulled no punches, by today's standards he was more than politically incorrect! The last 15 or 20 minutes where his unit was pinned down and almost over run were captivating and realistically portrayed. After a night's combat, you don't know who lived or died. You get up out of the fog and do a head count. It was a very very good movie and wish it comes out on DVD soon as my VHS copy is starting to fade. Easy 4 stars, and to those who don't know or understand why wars happen, I suggest watching it a couple of times.
