4.5/5
"A battle against the idea that 'a war movie' had to be a serious affair."  Filmcritic.com  Christopher Null

C
"A black comedy that rings hollow today."  Ozus' World Movie Reviews  Dennis Schwartz

2/4
"A good dint lower than its reputation, more so if you look at it not as one of the seminal 1970s films but instead as the first chapter from the finest filmmaking career spent examining the American mystique."  Slant Magazine  Eric Henderson

"Altman chronicles the sardonic wasteland with a camera that's always in the wrong place at the right time"  CinePassion  Fernando F. Croce

4/4
"Ahead of its time and still one of the most effectively subversive comedies ever to emerge from a major studio."  Q Network Film Desk  James Kendrick

4/4
"Ahead of its time and still one of the most effectively subversive comedies ever to emerge from a major studio"  Q Network Film Desk  James Kendrick

4/5
"Robert Altman's Korea-as-Vietnam 'comedy' demonstrates the best -- and worst -- of '70s cinema."  Netflix  James Rocchi

A
"Before ... the next war, both sides need to hire Altman as the director. He knows the territory, works with ensemble casts better than anyone, and provides plenty of laughs."  Old School Reviews  John A. Nesbit

8/10
"If you’re among the TV show’s multitude of fans but don’t know much about its progenitor, you may be surprised at how much edgier and daring the dark movie comedy is."  DVDTown.com  John J. Puccio

1.5
"I can only be grateful to whomever was the brilliant producer who saw the potential for one of the best-loved series within this mess of dullness and mean-spirited randomness."  Cinerina  Karina Montgomery

3.5/4
"Altman boiled away the muddled meat of literary pretension intended to smokescreen the essence of war: blood on the one side and semen on the other."  Film Freak Central  Walter Chaw
