A story that all seems so pointless after being told. Most of the male characters are stubborn, thick headed macho idiots. Many of the performances were stiff and unnatural. The love affair between Lancaster and Kerr in particular felt forced. I might have liked Sinatra and Clift if their characters were not so stupid and hard headed. Made in the 50's but poorly written from the perspective of a bygone 1940's era. A few nice battle scenes almost saves it.

A very good and enjoyable film about several men stationed in Hawaii prior to WW2. THe acting is for the most part very good and the characters are interesting, as the film manages to touch many subjects beyond the obvious ones you'd expect in a film about the military. Even so, there's something I can't put my finger on that prevented me from truly getting into the movie.

Another great Zinnemann movie with great performances by Burt Lancaster and Frank Sinatra. One of the best war movies that contains zero war in it.

This is considered a classic, and you can see why. It's romantic, without getting too sentimental. It's dramatic, without capitalizing on the melodrama. And, perhaps most importantly, it features good work from Hollywood stars Lancaster, Clift, Sinatra, Borgnine etc.. What more do you want?

Great actors, but it wasn't really my thing--I found it too gloomy and depressing.

A story about people trying to fill voids in their life with toxic behavior. I don't particularly love characters who consistently make frustrating and stubborn decisions, but I look at this movie as some kind of metaphor about America at the time. Sinatra really impresses with his performance though and provides the most interesting subplot. Most importantly, even with some censoring by the Hays Code and the US Army, we manage to get a strong criticism of military bureaucracy.

Melodramatic epic with compelling characters and story. A lot of Cool Hand Luke seemed to be borrowed from this...
