Review of The Great Raid (2005) by Rowena C — 11 Jun 2010
This movie has the same problems that most war movies I've seen share; the plot is decent and solid, but the characters and ranks are introduced so quickly that by the time they are out there, wearing helmets, shooting in the dark, bloody and/or dirty, it's hard to remember who exactly they are.
The movie shows some real cruelty, which only human beings are capable of. I also assume most of those details were real, and not made up or exaggerated.
Other than that, "The Great Raid" is nothing special. It has good portrayal of people in war. Nothing overwhelmingly spectacular though. I liked that they focused on Filipinos and Japanese as well as the Americans, too.
