Looks kinda like We Were Soldiers and Pearl Harbour mixed together. Kinda looks dodgey (too much love and yippy drama), one reason why I only like to watch WW2 films by Spielberg. WW2 films have dropped in quality lately.

Sad but true. War movies these days are usually the same thing. Bad acting, bad story with some boring nuclear grenades CGI and some stupid love story attempt. It seems now that the only reason these movies get made anymore is purely money based.

i saw some show on the History channel called History vs Hollywood? They talked about this movie and the historical aspects behind it. Battaan death march was featured and they followed the path of the rangers/phillipino resistance that participated in the raid. The movie looks like shit though and Fiennes is just a great big homo. From what I saw on the tele there is some gay romance in the movie as well. Ill see it on dvd. The last movie that got me out of the house was Sin City..... rock:
