Too late the hero 1969

Starring: Michael Caine

In World War 11, the Japanese hold one end of a small Pacific island, British and Americans the other.

Good start to this movie, it then became over-long and was one big shoot out with shouting inbetween. I think they tried to build the tension but although this was okay, it fell a little short of the mark. Michael Caine was once again a major disappointment for me.    5/10

The Big Red One 1980

Starring: Lee Marvin

Five foot-soldiers survive action in several theatres of war between 1940 and 1945.

An awful lot of shooting and explosions, not too much plot other than soldiers being posted to different countries. Some nice shots and a few harrowing moments, the rest of it was not easy to engage with.   4/10

Ten Wanted Men 1955

Starring: Randolph Scott

A rancher and his family are besieged by bandit's in a lady's house.

Routine family feud Western, Randolph Scott never brings anything new to the table for me. Not bad, but nothing memorable or original.    5/10
