The review

The army offers convicts, some of them murderers, a suicide raid in exchange for their sentences. A hard officer trains them. The training is the pleasure: men getting good at a job the film wants you to enjoy. The mission is a chateau full of officers, which lets the picture say the target is worse than the men sent to hit it.

I do not take the bargain. It has told you they are dangerous, then it asks you to like them because a war needs them and the other side is officers in a fancy house. Competence is not a cleaning. If this house watches war movies, use this one as the test. A uniform and a worse target do not make the killers into the men you were hoping the army would be. The film enjoys them anyway.

Journal

Keep The Dirty Dozen in the record.

No house has filed a sentence for this yet.

Live Historic number 39. Yours can differ.

The glance

Household and Piety and Temperance and Truth and Stewardship are the thin ones.

Is a marriage, a parent, or a child a real life here, or just a prop?

This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.

Consider this

Warhorse One

51 instead of 39

Warhorse One is still a war film, and it scores 51 instead of 39. What you gain is household: The whole stake is a child who has no one else in the valley.

The eight

7
Industry
A hard officer trains them, and the training is the part the film enjoys.
1
Household
No marriage or child is a life here; the unit is the whole cast.
2
Piety
The film knows some are murderers and does not let that stop the liking.
6
Courage
The raid can kill them, and they take it to get clear of their sentences.
5
Republic
The army offers the bargain, and a chateau of officers is the target.
3
Temperance
You are trained to enjoy the drills, then to cheer men it called dangerous.
4
Truth
It tells you they are dangerous, then asks you to forget that for the mission.
3
Stewardship
A raid is what remains, not a reason to trust the men once the war is over.

A Streetcar Named Desire

Adult, and too many men wanted to be the husband. That is reason enough to skip it.

The review

She has already lost the family estate when she shows up at her sister's in New Orleans. She still wants to be someone the world bows to. The husband is force, and the house is his. A sister is caught between them. I knew that shape, and it still sat badly.

There is sexual cruelty near the end. I will not describe it. This is not a family evening. A lot of men wanted to be that husband, and that fact sits on the film heavier than the acting. It tells the truth about force and about a gentility that cannot pay its way. It also recruited. I can grant the first and still leave it off the shelf.
