TV Guide Magazine - Unnamed
Aldrich was a master at presenting his distinctly cynical outlook in the context of crowd-pleasing entertainment, and The Dirty Dozen is one of his most effective and lasting efforts.

Empire - Unnamed
Unarguably one of the great war movies of all time.

Time Out - Unnamed
Aldrich appears to be against everything: anti-military, anti-Establishment, anti-women, anti-religion, anti-culture, anti-life. Overriding such nihilism is the super-crudity of Aldrich's energy and his humour, sufficiently cynical to suggest that the whole thing is a game anyway, a spectacle that demands an audience.

Lee Marvin and Charles Bronson in the same picture. How much more bad-assedness do you need?

Variety - Unnamed
Lee Marvin heads a very strong, nearly all-male cast in an excellent performance.
