Movie Reviews of Sergeants 3
Movie Review: Don't strain yourself, Sergeant
Summary: 5 Stars
No, it's not the Magnificent 7, it's the Sergeants 3. Now, with that all cleared up, Sergeants 3 is the second Rat Pack flick. That's why anyone would watch it. Not that's there's really anything especially wrong with Sergeants 3; it's nowhere near as bad as you might have heard. There's a lot of action scenes and there's lots of action in them. The scenery, stunts and effects are quite decent, particularly the opening saloon brawl and a wild fight on board a moving coach. Praise also for Billy May who provided an intelligent score, rather somber which is unusual for him, done well. Of course Henry Silva and Buddy Lester (last seen in Ocean's 11) are underused and probably underpaid; oh well, that's an Indians life. There is what you would expect: Rat Pack chemistry with a lot of jesting references to Lawford's hifalootin' family ties). Both party scenes, first with Sinatra & Martin playing off Lawford and then with Sinatra & Martin playing off Bishop, are totally charming. Not funny, humorous. Martin gets a cute poker sequence (with Hank Henry, also seen in Ocean's 11 and Robin & the 7 Hoods) to call his own, too. Nice work if you can get it. My main problem is with Davis, Jr.: his character is too much a nerd to get much action going, with anyone. He's funnier when he gets to be hipper. (Note his pinky ring, tho.) To be sure, no-one gets to be as ring-a-ding as they would have been in Vegas. It's not quite F-Troop though. Some folks get tossed off cliffs. The first half of Sergeants 3 is stronger than the first but, whatever, the narrative intrudes as it must but the last twist bit provides a satisfying capper. Like Ocean's 11, Sergeants 3 is a lazy sprawl of scenes, some good but, unlike Ocean's 11, all falling short of excellent. If you love the Rat Pack, this movie is a done deal. If you love Westerns, well, why aren't you after something better?
