Getting ourselves killed is not going to make any difference to anyone except us.



Yet again Aldrich directs another great war film. The film is called Too Late the Hero. In many ways it is similar to the Dirty Dozen. One like the Dirty Dozen it stars two cast members from the Flight of the Phoenix. The Dozen had Ernest Borgnine and George Kennedy while Two Late has Ronald Frazer and Ian Bannen. It also has a mission that goes deep into enemy territory and will kill about 85% to 90% of those involved. The cast includes Micheal Caine, Cliff Robertson, Harry Andrews and Henry  Fonda. This is also one of my favorite Caine performances. Ken Takakura's role as Maj. Yamaguchi is also very good. Watch it.
