Review of American Guerrilla in the Philippines (1950) by Matt M — 29 Sep 2012
The account of a group of American guerrilla fighters in the Philippines, waiting for MacArthur to reach the country that has been taken over by the Japanese. Left alone in enemy territory, the only signals they are sent is in messages printed on the back of cigarette boxes and received through homemade transmitter.
The film is quite dull and outdated. As a matter of fact, overall it seems as inventive as its title. There is never a real feeling of tension, because an awkwardly placed love affair sucks a lot of life from it.
In the end, this doesnâ(TM)t stand out from many other films of the kind, and it remains a somewhat anonymous Fritz Lang film.
