Review of Bataan (1943) by Grant S — 27 Apr 2014

(1943) Bataan.
WAR.
Although, based on fact, the events still may not have happened in that kind of way, centering on Sergeant Bill Dane (Robert Taylor) with only a small group of about 9 to 13 men given orders by his captain (Lee Bowman) to prevent as many bridge building attempts being made somewhere on Bataan, Philippine so that the Japanese army can't find means for an attack during WWII.
Even though, actor Robert Taylor actually fought during WWII, the movie fails to convince viewers about the environment they're in is authentic since it's obviously built on some Hollywood sound stage. The US soldiers are supposed to be residing on that one particular hill for look outs and so forth, yet we're only looking at the point-of-view accordingly from the top, but not from above or anywhere else. The ending is similar to the John Wayne directed film "The Green Berets".
2 out of 4 stars.
