Beach Red (1967) Reviews

This movie REALLY tries hard. But the bad acting, trite script writing, and weird directing make it tough to get through. But there are some amazing aspects:........ EXPERIENCE continually bouncing from archive footage to staged sets .......... THRILL to the sound of voices in people's heads! .......... BE SHOCKED at the mild partial nudity in the flashback scenes! .......... BE AMAZED how a small spool of communication wire can seemingly be unlimited in length! .......... WONDER why a decent actor like Rip Torn ever got into a flick like this! ASK YOURSELF whether Saving Private Ryan director Steven Spielberg got the idea of a guy walking around with a blown off arm from THIS FILM!!!! .......... BUT, like I said, this film really tries hard. It gets an A for effort and a C- for results.

i like war films. this one i didn't like. i wasn't interested in any of the characters. you could tell this was low bugget. several characters with thier flash backs to before the war didn't work. it lacked continuity.
