Review of Pork Chop Hill (1959) by Joe M — 14 Apr 2009
An acquaintance recommended this movie to me. Judging by the title, I assumed (incorrectly) that it was a comedy. So I expected nothing other than it would be a very good movie. WRONG! Now if you like war movies and scenes of people being killed in a variety of different ways, you'd probably enjoy this one.
That's not my cup of tea. The best thing I can say about this movie is that it's not as horrible as Passion of the Christ, which I watched immediately afterwards. There are heroes and cowards but the ending is neither realistic nor climactic.
This movie reminded me how much better movies are in the 21st century than in 1959. The bright side, you'll be very glad when it's over and it may make you actual life seem pretty damn good! But I can watch Cops to get that result.
Don't waste your time.
