Rating: 2/10 (6 November 2006)

"The Great Raid" now thats a title! It sounds ballsy and strong. I sat eagerly awaiting one hell of a war movie. Then I watched the thing. Let me just say, this is one of the most boring movies I've ever seen. With a title like "The Great Raid" one would expect for at least a little action. Just a little, seriously a TINY BIT. None. None at all. NONE. How does that happen!? The director does realize that in a war, people typically SHOOT at each other, right!? Or at least TALK about shooting each other! Hell, they smoke, and play cards, and SWEAR! They're soldiers damn it! Then again, I also didn't think that POWs got enough time in a day to "chill" in a European village. I thought they got, you know, electro shock therapy to the balls or something. I guess my knowledge of war really isn't much. Also, when one names a movie "The Great Raid" by the 2:00 point in the film, you should AT LEAST do some raiding. Guess not. Boring, and dull. Avoid like the plague.
