...to the last man

Rating: Null/10 (20 December 2003)

A flick for warriors who enjoy good films. The acting was the best Tom C. has done for awhile. Wanatabe was OK, but not all that convincing. Someone like Mako would have been better. Just enough romance to keep the chicks happy, but not too much to make the story boring. Super photography, except for the fake looking computer generated soldiers, and a haunting soundtrack. The ninja attack scene was realistic enough to resemble a real life furball (for those who've been there) - just great direction and camera work. It's nice to see a movie with so many memorable lines.
Get the Japanese subtitles ready for Oscar night.
And lastly - none of the stupid blue and white effects that every director and his brother now use - thank you Mr Zwick!
