A Story of Guadalcanal's battle during the 2nd World War

Rating: 7/10 (3 June 2002)

Good to see how the soldiers feel during difficult battles with an enemy ready to do anything to possible to get a final win. The merit of the film is that it shows different personalities during the battle, an officer very busy with his subordinates, another higher one thirsty of win, other soldiers in a near panic, others showing their solidarity to support the action. In general, the message of the film is good and although dealing with war, it is a real antiwar film. Good acting from many good actors, particularly Nick Nolte, Sean Penn, Woody Harrelson and James Caviezel.
