    Set after the D-Day landing in wartime France Kelly's Heroes is about a rag tag group that stumble's on the location of $16 million in gold. The problem is that it's in a bank that's located 30 miles behind enemy lines. Clint Eastwood stars as Kelly, probably the most normal of t...( read more)he group that features Telly Savalas as the tough sergeant, Donald Sutherland as the hippie tank commander, and Don Rickles as the supply clerk that helps outfit the trip.

    Kelly's Heroes isn't a bad war movie/buddy picture/comedy. It just suffers from some peculiarities in its script and the way some things are presented. Such as a hippie in 1944 France. But probably the one thing that took a wrecking ball to this film was the use of a crap Ennio Morricone rip off score for a scene where Eastwood is walking down the street to face off with a tank. What is this garbage? Let's give everyone a reminder of a superior film that the star has been in over this overinflated studio jerk-off. This ruins the movie and turns what could have been a good picture into a hack job.

    War movies aren't usually my genre but this was kind of funny (yet serious at the same time). An absollutely all star cast with Telly Savalas, Clint Eastwood, Don Rickles, Carroll O' Connor, and Donald Sutherland/

    Easy to see why this film is a classic. It's a great movie about Vietnam... er, the second World War... with the Donald Sutherland-portrayed hippie and all (though he is hilarious). This was the Top Gun of its generation, in a sense - a somewhat senseless war movie, but without t...( read more)he satire of M*A*S*H*, that is easy to watch and shows the camaraderie and homo-erotic soldier-told lighter side of the story. And it wouldn't be an Eastwood movie without some moral indecision, and here we have some typical good guys doing bad things that seem good... after all, what's in this war for them? (Minus a star for missing the point: stopping Hitler, Clint.) Eastwood, of course, is just an actor in this one though, that flaw can be blamed on the director. Eastwood does it better (see: Unforgiven, Mystic River). Still, a fun movie with excellent special effects for its day, and hey, all's well that ends well, right?

    A good war action movie with a strong cast, as they go after gold left by the Nazi's.
