should be burned

Rating: 1/10 (13 September 2005)

This is one of the worst movies of all time. We are lead to believe that two fighter pilot buddies happen to reunite in Hawaii the night before Pearl Harbor. Before that they were on Long Island, New York together before one goes off to England to fight the Germans. Then, somehow, he gets transferred back to the USAAC from the RAF in the middle of World War Two to go to Hawaii to be ready for the Japanese attack. yeah, right. All of those ships the Japanese destroyed in the attack look suspiciously modern, too. I don't think the US Navy had Aegis class guided missile destroyers in 1941. Yet, those are what the movie shows getting sunk. Then, the final coupe de grace, and if this is giving away the ending, it doesn't really matter since the movie doesn't really matter(as a piece of film, it should be burned/ as a piece of cinematographic art is should be placed in a trash can and as a reflection of history it doesn't even shine a dim light of truth) the fighter pilot from England and Long Island leads the first bomber raid on Tokyo. This would've been bad war propaganda in 1942 and is even worse as "history" in 2002. Every actor in this film should have their credits changed to "anonymous" and the directors, producers, and writers banned for producing banal tripe. It sucks.
