| Chicago TribuneMichael WilmingtonIt's a piece of almost instant history – and, as such, it gets the technical and cultural details of military life spot on. |
| Chicago ReaderDave KehrThe film is long (142 minutes), claustrophobic, and intense, yet it works with elegance and rigor, like a philosophical problem stated and solved. |
| Orlando SentinelCrosby DayThe taut action, sparse dialogue, and faultless technique keep things moving so fast that there's no time to reflect upon the morality of war or the miraculous way in which Flynn and his men survive against such overwhelming odds. |
| Movie MetropolisJohn J. PuccioThe director alone should tell you all you need to know about this Errol Flynn set: Raoul Walsh. |
| The Observer (UK)Ian JohnsThe film has considerable movement, particularly in the early reels, and the tactics of the paratroopers are authentic in their painstaking detail. However, while the scripters have in the main achieved their purpose of heightening the action, there are scenes in the final reels that could have been edited more closely. |
