The Steel Helmet (1951) is a fever dream of the Korean War, entirely possessed of its own unique, inimitable rhythms.

The action scenes are terrific, belying the movie's very low budget.

[Sam] Fuller's powerful direction turns a trite story into a vivid study of national and personal identity.

It may have a patriotic charge, but the anti-war speech imprisons me when it shows the dehumanization of war. [Full review in Spanish]
