How can one movie contain so much awesomeness?

Rating: 9/10 (18 January 2013)

The movie is basically a who's who of bad a$$es. You've got Lee Marvin as the leader of the team then Charles Bronson, Jim Brown, Donald Sutherland, John Cassavetes, Ernest Borgnine and so on down the line. Basically the only thing the movie is missing is Chuck Norris and he didn't really even start doing movies regularly till the mid '70's so that's understandable.
The movie is the ultimate men on a mission movie which is one of the movies that inspired Quentin Tarantino to make Inglourious Basterds. Marvin's Major Reisman assembles a team for what is essentially a suicide mission. The team is created from military prisoners who if they survive the mission will be granted a pardon.
This is basically a real guys movie, if you don't like this movie they take away your man card.
