Movie Reviews of Too Late the Hero
Movie Review: Great Pro-War movie of the 70s
Summary: 4 Stars
Just finished watching this pro-war movie. I thought it was surprisingly good. The fake anti-war beginning gets taken over by the pro-war middle and end. As usual, you have the "i hate the army/navy" soldier/sailor, but in the end, their true heroism comes out. This is one of those movies that gives buddy war movies a good name. And pro-war movies. Cain and Robertson play off each other pretty good. I like 50s, 60s, & 70s Britiss actors just to listen to their accents(Burton, O'Toole, Harris, etc.) It's hard to imagine getting such a crappy mission with only 1 day before a 4-week leave period for Robertson. It is said that it had a message to tell about the Vietnam War at the time, but Robertsond and Cain play the "die for my country" heroes just with the right amount of cynicism and patriotism. Worth watching, at least once, to instill pride in the sailors and solders of the US and the UK during WWII and Vietnam.
Summary of Too Late the Hero
Oscar?(r) winners* Michael Caine and Cliff Robertson star in this "rousing" (Film & TV Daily) war drama about two reluctant heroes desperate to survive, even at the cost of their own allies. Thrilling, intense and harrowing, Too Late the Hero "will keep you on edge from start to finish" (Cue)! Lt. Lawson (Robertson) has only one interest in the wargetting out of it. Sent with British soldiers on a suicide mission to thwart the Japanese communications system, he finds a natural comrade in the cynical Tosh (Caine). But when the two soldiers make a discovery that could change the course of the war, they must decide whether to save themselves...or becomethe heroes they never wanted to be. *Caine: Supporting Actor, The Cider House Rules(1999); Hannah and Her Sisters (1986); Robertson: Actor, Charly (1968)Action & Adventure DVD Video
