A very good modern WWII Pacific Islands movie

Rating: 8/10 (4 June 2003)

Even after Pearl Harbor and Thin Red Line, I felt this movie truly captured the feel of WWII in the Pacific Islands, something that parallels Saving Private Ryan, but for the other half of the world. Grusome and realistic war scenes, convincing for me, maybe not for others, with a good human interest story, that was somewhat truncated by the lack of scenes with the Nurse. I give it a thumbs up.
