Leave your thoughts about Too Late the Hero.
| VarietyVariety StaffAn okay World War II melodrama, featuring Michael Caine and Cliff Robertson as antagonists who come to respect each other in the course of destroying a Jaanese radio transmitter. |
| The SpectatorPenelope HoustonOne might have thought that one Dirty Dozen was enough for a filmmaking career. |
| Kansas City KansanSteve CrumMemorable conclusion, exciting war adventure. |
| Time OutGeoff AndrewThe action has its moments (with the patrol's paranoia fed by taunting messages from Japanese loudspeakers hidden in the jungle), and the bantering dialogue is often very funny. |
| User Reviewashley mthis is a brilliant film and michael caine acted excellently along side cliff robertson |
| User ReviewPeter NCriminally undervalued movie and a personal favourite. Great story, script and acting, even from Michael Caine, plus a thrilling ending. But why did Ronald Fraser always play Scotsmen?.. he was actually English and came from Ashton Under Lyne. |
| User ReviewNicholas RA clumsy look at the moral vagaries of war. Decent performances by Michael Caine and Denholm Elliot, but everyone else - including Cliff Robertson in the lead role - is just phoning it in. |
| User ReviewMartin Dgreat film one of caines best shows that the brits also fought the japs an not just the yanks |
| User ReviewRichard HI love this film! i can't rate it highly enough. Michael Caine and Cliff Robertson at their best |
| User ReviewDavid OThis film is class - Michael and Cliff Robertson, especially the end when they escape from the Japs. Who survives, you don't find out until right at the end. |
