Why I hate the movie "The Dirty Dozen"

[Rev. Rye]

Yeah, the Dirty Dozen are morally ambiguous; that was kind of the whole fucking point of the movie. They're 12 convicts ranging from nice guys who were in the wrong place at the wrong time to utter sociopaths, and pretty much all the groups (with the exception of Lee Marvin, who is pretty much in a category of his own) has a very unsavory personality, the Dozen, the Nazis, and the Army Brass who signed off on the mission in the first place. I've looked deeper into the film, and the unsympathetic nature of the Dozen is entirely intentional; it's a reflection of the horrific nature of war itself disguised as a badass action film.

And, yes, I am well aware that, in real life US military, a real "Dirty Dozen" team would never be allowed to assemble, and the Nazi variation of the concept shows why.
