The Great Bomb

Rating: 4/10 (9 January 2008)

I'm halfway through this movie and I still don't know what the writers and directors are trying to accomplish with this film. Concentration camp life, quinine, some kind of love connection between a woman and one of the prisoners, quinine, smuggling quinine, a trip to town so the POW's can buy fresh fruit, more quinine, a shift change at the concentration camp...arggg, time to change the channel. This is the worst war movie I have ever seen. Too bad too as the story is one worthy of praise and immortalization. But this film doesn't even come close. If you absolutely HAVE to see it, skip to about halfway through and start from there. I think all the rave reviewers out there are simply trying to be patriotic, which is not a bad thing, but you do a disservice to the other readers of this forum out there that are looking for an honest review.
