Peckinpah indulges in endless combat scenes (this was his only war movie), which try the patience of viewers who came for the real story.

Not Peckinpah's best, but still powerful.

War is hell, but for Peckinpah it's also the sadist's Olympian joke
March 10, 2003
This war film is also Peckinpah's last great movie.
May 09, 2005
Mr. Peckinpah's least interesting, least personal film in years, a hysterically elaborate, made-in-Yugoslavia war spectacle, the work of international financiers and a multinational cast.

Its complex and vivid portrayal of the absurdity of war, however, prompted none other than Orson Welles to write Peckinpah and proclaim it the finest antiwar film he had ever seen.

Cross of Iron would almost seem a proper mea culpa by Peckinpah for his controversial career.
October 12, 2010
Goes to extremes to paint a picture of war as insane.
July 31, 2011
This was Peckinpah's last important work and his only war movie.
