Three years jump, Kelly's Heroes. It's a heist movie camouflaged as a war one, with comedic elements. Now it's not just a group of misfits recruited and forged into a team to do some heroic fighting for their side, but this ragtag band is acting on their own interest, to fulfill their own selfish desires. There is a camaraderie between them but it's shown kinda superficial.
For me The Dirty Dozen has it's moments, but after the boot camp when the real action comes falls flat, but this one remains entertaining through the whole movie.
Maybe I'll dig up more older WWII war movies, we'll see. I couldn't stand Private Ryan and had to turn it off liek after 10 minutes.
