a great watch on the big screen,old fashioned tale.

Rating: 8/10 (13 November 2019)

If you like war films I suggest you go and see this.
It is an old fashioned film with heroes and great action scenes.
It would be easy and pointless to be too critical of this film.
If you know the director's work you will know what to expect but it is actually a lot better than you might remember.
He gets good performances from the cast.
The film looks great ,being stationed in Pearl Harbor prior to the attack looks like great fun.
There seems to be several historical errors in the films but they are not obvious to most viewers who are not geeks.
I do get annoyed when characters say things like INTEL and INCOMING because I am sure nobody used these phrases in 1941.
As a British person very interested in WW2 it amazes me that anybody can make a film about the Pearl Harbor attack without mentioning the Royal Navy's attack on the Italian navy in Tatanto harbour in November 1940.
The Japanese naval attache in Italy made a full report to the Japanese Navy about the attack and they used the information while planning the Pearl Harbor attack.
To sum up then an old fashioned story worth seeing at the cinema.
