Movie Reviews

CinePassion - 9/10 by Fernando F. CroceAs visceral as any movie ever made, this is also Fuller's portrait of the collapsing mind, a race into madness
Chicago Reader - 8/10 by Dave Kehr[Sam] Fuller's powerful direction turns a trite story into a vivid study of national and personal identity.
House Next Door - 6/10 by Keith UhlichThe Steel Helmet (1951) is a fever dream of the Korean War, entirely possessed of its own unique, inimitable rhythms.
User Review - 10/10 by Michael POne of the best war movies ever made directed by 1st Infantry combat veteran Sam Fuller. I watch this every time it's on.
User Review - 10/10 by Eric HWhat could have been a flimsy, disposable b-movie in the hands of other, less competent directors, becomes an evocative war tale of grit, fear, loss and redemption in the hands of Sam Fuller. There's no abstract sophistication or sentimental pap though: this is raw and true film-making, unpretentious and stripped of all fat. Director Sam Fuller is a unique beast in the American underground: having worked both as a crime report for NYC newspapers before he enlisted as a soldier in WWII, it comes natural then that the Steel Helmet has the urgency and power of both of his pre-directorial careers. A reporter's sense of story and characters above all and the firsthand experience of a war veteran. True to itself, simple but never simplistic, with respect to the subject matter and without any flag waving, The Steel Helmet is better than it had any right to be. It is still a low-profile (in terms of stars and publicity or lack thereof) b-movie but shot with a conviction and passion few a-list movies can muster.
User Review - 10/10 by John GAmazing war movie that sucks all the fake hollywood bullshit out of the spectacle and grounds it in humanity and scum. Brilliant.
User Review - 10/10 by Chris BProducer Steve gave me a copy of this one. Outstanding. Fuller was ahead of his time.
User Review - 10/10 by Renee LWonderful movie showing the bravery of soldiers and the uselessness of war
User Review - 10/10 by Jack Gan independent movie classic, not to mention a damn good war picture. and war as it's seen through the perspectives of the group, the bad-ass, the outcasts, the little stragler South Korean kid, and one of the all-time BOOMing climaxes ever (with 25 extras! and a tank made out of plywood!!) Genius from the ingenius.
User Review - 10/10 by Chris FYou don't need three hours to tell a good war story
