Although it definitely falls short of The Deer Hunter or Apocalypse Now, the film is not without interest.

What are critics saying?
Washington Post by Gary Arnold
The finished film has no thematic or emotional integrity. It flip-flops withdesperate hypocrisy between clownish antics and indignant orations. [09 Feb 1978, p.B13]
The New York Times by Janet Maslin
As a film about heroism, it is chiefly remarkable for its gutlessness.
The New Yorker by Pauline Kael
The director, Sidney J. Furie, brings the film energy and he keeps the gags and the sentiment coming.
Chicago Sun-Times by Roger Ebert
[Furie) retains the ability to make a picture move, grow on us and involve us. That’s what happens during The Boys in Company C.
