Hilarious. Oh - it shouldn't be?

Rating: Null/10 (3 September 2002)

To recapitulate MacBeth, this film strikes me as being "full of sound and fury, signifying nothing". O Level English out of the way, after seeing it I got the impression that the producer had leant heavily upon the director's shoulder and said "Son - what I want is a 90's rock video version of World War Two. Lot's of slo-mo, smoke, gratuitous smooching. Oh, and some really big explosions." And the director went to his Big Book Of Movie Cliches for inspiration. Note that the title is a misnomer, most of the film doesn't concern Pearl Harbour. "Tora Tora Tora" is a lot more even-handed and accurate.
