Rent Tora, Tora Tora!

Rating: 1/10 (29 March 2004)

Weak, weak, weak. The battle set-pieces are well-done, but the ultra-contrived storyline is so very bad, you just don't care about the people getting bombed - they're just so much CGI filler. Ben Affleck turns in another square-jawed yet numbingly dull performance. Josh Hartnett and Kate Beckinsale are far better, but can't rise above the material. Done far more effectively with far more primitive effects capabilities in "Tora Tora Tora!" Rent that and avoid this turkey. In fact, avoid any food Michael Bay has touched.
