One of the more average of Eastwood's earlier screen roles.

Rating: Null/10 (2 December 2018)

Kelly's Heroes is a wannabe. Clint Eastwood proves his lack of acting ability here in a script that is both overlong and arrogant. This movie was MADE for the 70s audience. There is no other explanation for Donald Sutherland's character and the amount of anti-establishment ho-haw. The plot itself lacks enough credibility for two movies. Yet, somewhere in this film is an intelligence beyond all the explosions and terrible quips. It certainly isn't in the Mike Curb Congregation's theme song, certainly one of the worst pop songs of the decade. There is no similarity between it and the movie, that's bad licensing. That problem aside, the film would have been much better had the editor not been snoozing on the job. Given the timeframe of this film, I will forgive the DoP for doing a slob-job.
