Title: Movie with an identity crisis
Review: Too much romance to be a war movie. Too much war to be a romance movie. Whatever you want to call this hodgepodge of dramatic cliches, don't dare call it "historical." Like "Titanic," which suffers from a similar affliction, the fact that celluloid was even wasted on this is supremely insulting to the real people who actually lived through the events. The worst aspect of it is that it was obviously intended as a means to purely commercial ends, riding into theaters on the coattails of far more artistically and morally distinguished movies like "Saving Private Ryan" and "Band of Brothers" and the groundswell of renewed interest in World War II which followed them.If you want to watch a reasonably accurate dramatization of what actually happened at Pearl Harbor, your money will be better spent on the classic "Tora! Tora! Tora!"
