God Bless America! (again and again)

Rating: 7/10 (30 January 2020)

I enjoyed it. I did. I really enjoyed the authentic feeling and sense of "being there". The cinematography was great although I felt they could have lingered on the Pearl Harbour aspect of the story and its aftermath a little more, but that's a minor quibble. The cliched characters and dialogue will have you rolling your eyes as these macho 'Muricans strut their stuff and go through the motions. There's no shortage of posturing and over the top attitudes, and the sense of unbridled American Heroism is pushed heavily. Ed Skrein presents as the stereotypical maverick character with the usual "I'm unconventional but everyone respects the hell out of me" personality. I found the character the most eye roll inducing of them all. And, he's a close talker. Yep, he's right up in there. Lol
