This rates as one of the worst of all time

Rating: 1/10 (18 September 2004)

Here is the formula - take a bunch of pretty, young stars, cast them in a bizarre love and uninteresting love triangle and throw in a Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor with some cool special effects. First of all, the actors don't seem to even care about their lines or show any real emotion. The screenplay dialog doesn't help, hurts the character interpretation, and is at times painful. The director must have been out for a coffee break for half of the film. I would definitely pass on this film even if someone paid me to see it.
The movie is about an hour too long. It is extremely predictable in it's love story which is almost extraneous to the point of the story. Randall Wallace should stick with TV writing before getting into Hollywood war movie making. Don't even compare this to Tora! Tora! Tora! or the Longest Day. They just don't make them like those anymore.
