Great Film; Nominate Alec Baldwin for Best Supporting Actor

Rating: 10/10 (27 May 2001)

I thoroughly enjoyed this film. It appears to be very historcially accurate. Alec Baldwin DEFINITELY* deserves to be nominated for an academy award and a golden globe for his excellent, inspirational portrayal of James Doolittle! My only criticism of this film is that the character of Sergeant Earl (portrayed by Tom Sizemore) is a very* obvious copy of Red West's character Sergeant Micklin from the TV Show Black Sheep Squadron. The History Channel, interestingly, aired back to back episodes of Black Sheep Squadron the weekened Pearl Harbor opened. Hmm...
