I want to see it again!

Rating: 10/10 (23 August 2005)

an amazing accounting of a frequently forgotten piece of American history. When General Douglas MacArthur promised he would return to the Phillipines, a lot of people thought he was bragging, but politics being what they are, it took 3 long years for the United States forces to be able to return. I went in expecting a movie that spotlighted the few actor's names that I recognized, but was in a state of genuine appreciation for the producers and director that kept the story as an ensemble piece,with extremely well acted scenarios that supported the entire story. I hope that at Academy Award nomination time , this movie is not ignored but still not given the overly hyped attention that "Saving Private Ryan" received.
