Writing for the Sarasota Herald Tribune on June 11, 2011, Christopher Lloyd suggests an alternative title for the “alleged war film.. The Star-Crossed Love Lives of Darby’s Rangers. Never have I seen a military drama so done in by sex. It’s not enough to say that romance is a recurring distraction in this film; it would be more accurate to describe the battle scenes as interrupting all the mush.” He does praise two combat sequences, “notable because the movie makes extensive use of stock footage from the war, so these are some of the few combat scenes that were actually shot for the movie.”
