Rangers all the way!

Rating: 9/10 (18 August 2005)

If you like watching the history channel like I do you 'The Great Raid' is the summer movie for you. Not a flaw in The great raid. Directed and acted well. The script follows the historical and personal stories well. Movie is better than Pearl Harbor. The acting schools are better than years ago, and shows that no film needs a 9 million dollar actor which kills the budget, with cheap sets, and no script rewrite. Many years ago the need for name actors helped. Some of the no name actors do better films and acting, while the Julia Roberts, and Tom Cruises live on past glories and have been in disappointing films, with tired roles. Nice to not see all the computer animation in a film for a change, which is getting old. 9 or 10 out of 10. Nice to see a film which tells the story like it is. Not have all the Hollywood made up baloney. I rather watch the Duke if the film is fictitious. Good movie
