Dirty Dozen 4K 10/26 Blu-ray (Rental)

During World War II, a U.S. Army Major is assigned a dozen convicted murderers to train and lead them into an assassination of German officers. DAMN THEM OR PRAISE THEM... YOU'LL NEVER FORGET THE DIRTY DOZEN! In 1967, director Robert Aldrich led a twelve-man army behind enemy lines and on to box office glory in The Dirty Dozen. A thrilling adventure starring the likes of cinematic trailblazer John Cassavetes, the roguish Charles Bronson, a then-unknown Donald Sutherland, and NFL star Jim Brown, The Dirty Dozen would define the guys-on a-mission movie for decades to come! As the Allies prepare to strike Nazi-occupied France, Major John Reisman (Lee Marvin) is tasked with a top-secret mission to tip the scales of war: break into and destroy a French château housing numerous high-ranking Nazi generals. His team? Twelve vicious criminals - the worst of the worst - promised a pardon if they survive. Somehow, Reisman must turn these twelve mutineers into one unified fighting force, or certain death awaits them all... Raucous, cynical, violent, and hugely entertaining, The Dirty Dozen is a cinematic extravaganza full of excitement, tension, and unrelenting action, exploding off the screen in a brand new 4K restoration!
