Movie Reviews of Go Tell the Spartans
Movie Review: Unrealistic Waste
Summary: 1 Stars
I wasted good money on what I had read was a "good film". This is befitting of something that panders to stereotypes of the Vietnam war. The mid-1970s long haircuts, WWII vehicles, and over-acting detracted from what might have been a good film. If they had gotten a real soldier as a technical advisor for the film making, they could have avoided making it a cheap version of MASH. Sorry, the film is not instructive, does not realistically portray the Army of 1964 and is not very entertaining. As a Vietnam-era infantry veteran I give this film two-thumbs down.
Summary of Go Tell the Spartans
Academy Award-winner Burt Lancaster delivers the finest performances of his illustrious career as a hard-boiled major in command of a grubby Vietnam outpost in this classic film of wartime confrontation. The war was still a "conflict" and American soldiers were merely "advisors" yet the ambushes the betrayals and the brutality were all very real. While the riveting action concentrates on a single obscure incident this excellent understated and sharply intelligent film illuminates the vast landscape of an era.Running Time: 113 min.System Requirements:Running Time 114 MinFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: DRAMA UPC: 026359061523Action & Adventure DVD Video
