Title: Between U-571 and this...what hope is there?
Review: Between U-571 and this, the U.S. is trying damn hard to one up the likes of China, Japan, Russia and most of the Middle East in attempts at overt, revisionist history. Justifying Japan's brutal and aggressive campaign throughout Asia and the attack on Pearl Harbor? FDR standing (standing-up???!!!) in front of his advisors to make a point? Japanese fighters strafing people on taramcs and survivors floating in the water? Bombing the hospital? Dory Miller shooting down planes? The script also contains some of the worst 'romantic' dialog since "Attack of the Clones." Honestly, Ben-Lo should attempt another career path...seriously. I'm beginning to think the same about Beckinsale. She was terrific in "Cold Comfort Farm" but this and "Underworld" are near career-killers. I advoided this film for nearly 4 years but my curiosity got the best of me and boy am I sorry for letting it happen. Cripes, what a pinched loaf.
Is the review positive or negative?
