The film was shot off Santa Catalina Island, California. PlotDuring the Korean War, a group of American soldiers aboard a ship capture the enemy pilot of a plane they have shot down. They are ordered by South Korean headquarters to execute the prisoner, but none of the soldiers are able to will themselves to go through with the command. Just as Sgt. Briscoe is about to report his failure to carry out the order, word arrives that an armistice has been signed. The prisoner, uncomprehending, escapes and is found by Briscoe attempting to ignite gasoline to blow up the ship. Just before Briscoe kills the prisoner with a wrench, the man utters a single word that Briscoe later learns to mean "I can't." Cast
Critical receptionBosley Crowther of The New York Times found the whole premise of the film dubious, considering it to be "of such doubtful occurance{{what|date=March 2019}} and so little urgency ... that one finds it hard to get involved." He concluded that "the whole thing has the nature of a contrived hypothesis, for which the solution is so ready that the arrival at it is tedious."[3] Variety called the film "ideally suited to the cinematic tastes of war action buffs but disappointing for the discerning customer."[4] Philip K. Scheuer of the Los Angeles Times wrote, "The GIs—Douglas, Walker, Adams and briefly, Mark Miller—differentiate their characters fairly well within the confines of the script, though they remain essentially stereotypes."[5] Richard L. Coe of The Washington Post wrote that Henry Denker's screenplay "begins on a tense, dramatic note and manages to keep the pitch for the story's 94 minutes," adding, "I was especially impressed with the mute performance of the Philippine actor, Enrique Magalona, as the prisoner. This is a memorable, creative portrait."[6] The Monthly Film Bulletin found the script "technically excellent," but thought it was the "smug, unimpassioned way" in which the ethical theme was "grafted onto the stock story of another of Hollywood's neurotic bullies that faults the whole film."[7]References1. ^{{cite web |url=http://catalog.afi.com/Catalog/moviedetails/22416#3 |title=Details - The Hook |website=AFI Catalog of Feature Films |publisher= |accessdate=September 16, 2018 }} 2. ^Vahe Katcha (1928 - 2003) from the Armenian Cultural Association of Marne-la-Vallée (France) [translated]. 3. ^{{cite journal |last=Crowther |first=Bosley |authorlink=Bosley Crowther |date=February 16, 1963 |title=Screen: A Minor Issue |url= |journal=The New York Times |page=5 }} 4. ^{{cite journal |date=January 16, 1963 |title=The Hook |url= |journal=Variety |page=6 }} 5. ^Scheuer, Philip K.
