The Dirty Dozen is still fine entertainment thanks in no small part to the fantastic cast and witty script. The laconic and deceptively charming Lee Marvin is, of course, the main star here, quipping his way effortlessly through the most demanding of situations and dealing out ass-kickings to the toughest nuts in the group with a faint but obliging smile. Definitely worth seeing. — Evan Popplestone*
