By Sean P. Means (2,056) for Salt Lake Tribune (1,927) on 11 Aug 2005

Review of The Great Raid (2005)

By Brian Orndorf (4,059) for FilmJerk.com (622) on 10 Aug 2005

Review of The Great Raid (2005)

By Chris Barsanti (896) for Filmcritic.com (3,164) on 10 Aug 2005

Sometimes you can have the best story a filmmaker could ask for, a giant pile of money and all the best intentions, only to end up with a sub-par…

Review of The Great Raid (2005)

By William Arnold (1,101) for Seattle Post-Intelligencer (2,422) on 10 Aug 2005

Truth be told, the film is routine: the kind of one-note war movie that Hollywood used to crank out by the dozens every year in the 1950s…

Review of The Great Raid (2005)

By Duane Dudek (861) for Milwaukee Journal Sentinel (1,693) on 10 Aug 2005

By Bill Muller (519) for Arizona Republic (3,909) on 10 Aug 2005

Review of The Great Raid (2005)

Review of The Great Raid (2005)

By Steve Schneider (315) for Orlando Weekly (1,048) on 10 Aug 2005

By Scott Foundas (913) for L.A. Weekly (3,142) on 10 Aug 2005
