Review of Kelly's Heroes (1970) by Richard D — 24 Dec 2012
This is a movie that I want to like, but it just doesn't work for me. I think it's very dependent on the humour working for you, and I just don't find this movie funny. That makes the humour an annoying distraction from the action for me.
Some elements work ... I like the deliberate spaghetti western reference, but most don't. I find the performances to be too broad & slapsticky, especially Donald Sutherland, whose character I simply despise.
(I'm not too fond of Carroll O'Connor's Archie Bunker general either).
