Sean Connery has what looks like boot polish on his head as he stars in this army film with a difference, instead of being on the front line, the stars are either naughty boys doing time in a military prison or naughty boys that use different levels of sadism to 'punish' them and make them become 'real soldiers' again. How they plan on making better soldiers using violence, bullying and racism is beyond me but it does make for an involving movie that'll have you rooting for Connery and his pals.

Another very strong film by Sidney Lumet.

The Hill is an anti-war film, like Paths of Glory it is more about the rules and regulations in the war time army, the people who up hold the rules and the soldiers they effect.

Set in a military prison in the desert it focuses on a new brutal prison officer and five new prisoners including Sean Connery, Ossie Davis and Roy Kinnear, whose only ally is another guard played by the great Ian Bannen.

Superb performances from Sean Connery and Harry Andrews and everyone associated with this brilliant Sidney Lumet drama.

If I see 10 films better than this in 2013 ill be a happy bunny.

Blistering cinematography enhances this tale of a soldier camp for the supposed miscreants. Perhaps Connery's best performance as an actor onscreen for he gets to fully extend his acting muscles in ways never before seen. One of the great films and not easy to forget.

Lumet can really direct 'em. Sometimes I can forget what a great actor Sean Connery is because most of the time I remember him as Bond or Indy's dad but he has had some really great roles in The Man Who Would Be King or The Anderson Tapes and in this film he is great. Unlike Cool Hand Luke this man doesn't stand up to the man for no reason but he stands up to Thr man because they are abusing the power that they are given. He does such a great job as a man that never throws a punch and is much like MLK with just keep turning his cheek to raise awareness and in the end it has such a great iconic ending that is so fitting that people will strike back. I wonder if the scene on the prison inspired him to have the Attica quote in Dog Day Afternoon.

An absolute classic. A great cast, led by Connery, Harry Andrews, Ian Bannen, Ossie Davies etc

This has just become one of the best prison films in my estimation.

Great film. Lumet at his best
