| Video-Reviewmaster.comSteve CrumMuch fun amongst WWII w/Eastwood, Savalas, Sutherland, and Rickles. |
| Movie GurusJames O'EhleyIsn't really about the Second World War, but rather about the senselessness of the Vietnam War . . . |
| Time OutGeoff AndrewInteresting only in so far as it reveals Eastwood's nonchalant attitude to the blockbuster. |
| Groucho ReviewsPeter CanaveseA strange but mostly satisfying hybrid of WWII actioner and anti-war satire... [Blu-ray] |
| Movie MetropolisJohn J. Puccio...the filmmakers clearly intended the movie to be a carefree caper, and if one views it that way, it can pass an entertaining few hours. |
| EmpireDavid ParkinsonIt’s instilled with the bite and bark of Bilko’s capitalist fervour, and has a fun line in cool, snappy dialogue, although never intending to be quite so broadly a comedy. |
| Chicago ReaderDave KehrAn attempt to blend the war epic and the caper film that doesn't quite come off. |

Not without resources—it is full of resources, natural and mostly untapped—but with out that resourcefulness necessary to persuade us that comedy, any comedy, is worth the time of day. |
