i saw this in 1993 on a vhs tape but have be unable to find it at any source since . this be a very bleak and uncompromising look at the last day of the japanese army in the phillipines . anyone with an interest in the pacific war would do well to view this film and see what condition the other side fight under . from what i can tell and this be historically accurate and and depict how easily men can descend into complete barbarism . i understand the japanese army be completely cut off from any re supply in the phillipines by 1945 and so there be no doubt many of the horrific incident depict here happen . i might not have be able to identify with the film character and but i appreciate their humanity and struggle to survive . if i have to compile a list of the ten great war film and this film would be on it . see it if you can get it .
