Target Zero (1955)
5/10
old war movie
19 November 2020
It's Korea 1952. The war has descended into a grinding morass. There are various soldiers and non-coms of the coalition trying to survive the unrelenting death machine. Ann Galloway's car gets blown off a ridge. She's picked up by a British tank crew driving an American Sherman. They encounter a squad of American soldiers led by Lt. Tom Flagler who aims to head for a hill which has been surrounded after the push by the Chinese.

The dialogue is stale and the actors don't always help. Peggie Castle is more notable for her perfect hair and beautiful face. She has an overly dramatic breakdown scene. Charles Bronson has a minor role but at least, he delivers his self-contained brute. The filming and the acting are all pretty flat. There is some real action with real machinery. It's not exciting due to its old filming techniques. Mowing down the enemy is done with the old style dying. It's all rather old fashion.
