War Hunt Reviews
| 24 of 25 people found the following review helpful  Solid intro for Redford, but Saxon is the real star..., By This review is from: War Hunt (DVD) This is an obviously low-budget affair, but don't let that dissuade you from at least screening this film. Set in the waning days of the Korean War, the story revolves around a new replacement (Robert Redford), who joins an infantry unit on the front lines. As he experiences the bitter taste of war, he tries to understand the meaning of it all. Meanwhile, he is concerned over the psychotic lone wolf in the outfit (John Saxon), and his bizzare attachment to a young Korean kid. Saxon's character is a successful killing machine, but unaccustomed to fitting in with people. The main selling point is, of course, the film debut of Robert Redford. Redford is excellent here, even at a relatively young age. Redford has always been good at playing honest, good-guy straight shooters, and his debut as Pvt. Roy Loomis is no exception.

He becomes an isolated, cold and silent killing machine who creeps up at night and kills with a knife, then dances around the bodies. His only emotinal connection is with a young house boy. His influene on that child is chilling. The second is embodied in the introdcution of Robert Redford to the screen. The war seen through his eyes is tragic and wasteful. His bravery in confronting the evil influence of the first soldier represents a nobility in a man that is in sharp contrast to the dehumanizing effects of the war. Some would argue that the film effects, representing the state of the art in 1961 give a dated feel that is distracting. However this lends a grittiness and documentary feel that enhances the message. The popcorn will be forgotton. Save if for a second feature of a much lighter or...

Cinematography by Ted McCord.Starring John Saxon, Charles Aidman, Sydney Pollack, Gavin MacCleod, Tom Skerritt, Francis Ford Coppola and introducing Robert Redford. In the last month of the Korean War(May, 1953), a young recruit joins a platoon at the front lines and quickly notices a solitary soldier who, every night, sneaks out into no man's land where he kills Chinese soldiers with his knife in a strange ritualistic fashion. Though because this soldier brings back valuable information he is tolerated and even encouraged by his superiors, the young recruit is disturbed by the close relationship between the soldier and a young North Korean orphan and tries to wean the later from the former's influence. When the armistice is finally signed and the war ends, things come to a head when the heretofore useful soldier is unable to adjust to peace and runs off with the boy. The commanding officer, his top sergent... Read more |
