History sank with this attack.

Rating: 1/10 (13 December 2009)

The history atrocious; the heroics foolhardy; the heroines one- dimensional; the anachronisms annoying. And was I wrong, but were there scenes from "30 Seconds Over Tokyo" cropping up here and there, from original US Navy film? I should think that with all the talent, effort and money invested in this film they would have had a better result. And where in the film did that nurse earn a Purple Heart? There was not even a hint that the American aircraft carriers, which were at sea and not in the Harbor at Pearl when it was attacked, were of concern to either the Japanese or the American military commands. To the Japanese because they did not know where they were and the Americans because they did! Having a copy of Morrison handy after seeing this film should serve as an antidote.
