The movie should've been bombed by Japanese fighter planes.

Rating: 4/10 (4 August 2002)

* 1/2
Starring: Ben Affleck, Josh Hartnett, Kate Beckinsale, and Cuba Gooding, JR.
Can anyone please answer my major question. Why the heck would you rather have a huge love story than an interesting war movie? I guess I have to ask Michael Bay. The movie is bad. Really bad. Ben Affleck and Kate Beckinsale ruined this movie. The only reason Josh Hartnett didn't is because every movie Affleck is in is a love story. And love stories and war movies can't mix. Cuba Gooding, Jr. was probably the best part in the movie, portraying Dorie Miller. Another saving grace is the action sequences. That, and Cuba Gooding, Jr.'s presence was good. The rest of the movie is horrible. And how come they make Jon Voight seem like the star in this although he had a 5 minute part. I bet if my Grandpa starred in this, he would've been uncredited. Not recommended.
