    Best Korean War film
  

*by J***R on Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2014*

Director Samuel Fuller's "Fixed Bayonets" is my all-time favorite Korean War film, and in my opinion ranks as one of the war movie genre's best. Fixed Bayonets is a rather callous war movie that doesn't follow the typical patriotic fever of anti-communist propaganda films of the time. The movie seems more centered on the actual emotions and trials of the everyday grunt in Korea, as well as the time-tested fear if taking another human beings life. The movie sometimes lacks the action of a typically captivating war film, but Fuller uses the storytelling to make up for the lack of explosions and expenditure of ammunition.The premise of "Fixed Bayonets" is that a small platoon of forty-eight men is supposed to keep the onrushing communist throngs from finding out that an entire division is trying to move south to safety. 'Forty-eight men to give 15,000 men a break" is what the general explains is needed in the beginning of the film, and he handpicks the toughest fighting men to stay behind and blunt the "commies." The movie didn't have a monster budget, so the scenes and much of the acting is over-the-top, but for some reason it just seems to add to the enjoyment of the movie for me. Seeing the hardships and trials of the platoon throughout the movie, as well as the personal efforts of corporal Dano to keep Gibbs, Lonagin and "Rock" alive (due to his fear of leading) make the film more enjoyable than most Korean War movies in my mind.Make sure if you enjoy military films, or you really enjoy the Korean War itself, to check out the film "Fixed Bayonets." Also, as an added bonus, Fuller gives us one of budding star James Dean's first onscreen roles to soak up as well (Dean appears late in the film as a private standing guard at the river crossing).

    Sam Fuller at His Very Best...
  

*by V***R on Reviewed in the United States on May 20, 2019*

Samuel Fuller's intent was, always, to "set the hook" in the moviegoer with Scene 1.  Being a combat infantryman and the screenwriter AND the director, he pulls it off in this one.  Richard Basehart's perfomance surpasses his effort in DECISION BEFORE DAWN as being far more revealing of his character.  Gene Evans's U.S. Army time during WW2 helps nail his role as the platoon sergeant.  This movie was as realistic a combat action film as Hollywood censors of the era would allow. Peruse the cast list, (James Dean's 1st screen appearance), then add this gem to your collection.HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

    Gritty Sam Fuller War Film
  

*by G***2 on Reviewed in the United States on September 4, 2016*

FIXED BAYONETS! is one of Sam Fuller's best war films. Set in the Korean War this is a gritty film with very little sentimentality. It is very memorable if you have ever seen it before. FIXED BAYONETS! was written and directed by Samuel Fuller and is very typical of his style focusing on specific events in the story that reflect on the psychological impact and giving way to an emotional reaction to them. Thus, FIXED BAYONETS! is rather thought provoking and does not lend itself to a sweeping narrative flow as was the case with Sam Fuller's later classic WWII films MERRILL'S MARAUDERS (1962) and THE BIG RED ONE (1980). FIXED BAYONETS! is set in the harsh winter and the "Chinese Intervention" into the Korean War where death and devastation were daily and hourly seeds of depression on the psyche. It is an interesting film and often difficult to absorb as Fuller intended.
