Review of The Big Red One (1980) by Garrett C — 03 Sep 2016
The Big Red One (1980) C-113m. ??? 1/2 D: Samuel Fuller. Lee Marvin, Mark Hamill, Robert Carradine. Biting, extremely exciting war story detailing events of Normandy, Ardennes, and liberation of a concentration camp.
Epic in scale, rich in drama, flawlessly directed by Fuller. Director's Cut (also know as "The Reconstruction") is even more impressive for its humanity as well as its powerful action sequences.
This version runs 162 minutes and is rated ????. Fuller's finest hour; he also wrote this masterpiece.
