the best thing about this flick be that it seem like they use a lot of stuff leave over from the pearl harbor attack in tora tora tora . my favorite be the shot of the p 40 crashing into the row of parked p 40 but film from the top of a hangar or crane . unfortunately it just get bad from there . there two black guy and two white guy a american pow and as well a some filipinos pow and japanese guard . the ranking pow of the american be a white naval lieutenant and which be of course an o 3 in the navy . at any rate and he in need of a haircut and badly and distractingly badly . hockey hair do not belong in a wwii movie . oh and and he a racist . he doesn not want to share quarter with the negro . of course in real life and he wouldn not want to share quarter with the white enlisted guy either . i think the geneva convention have a clause about officer quarter and enlist but that wasn not the point here . oh well and i think plot be secondary to other issue in this flick . he get put in his place and pretty much spend the rest of the movie a a look out and run the air pump for the diver . but once you get go and it not a bad story line . the jap want the diver to raise the silver throw out by the american before corrigador fell . the filipino resistance want them to take their time . and the pow do their best to help . a potentially good story and not that badly do i guess . a bit unbelievable when the pow use camp make re breather to swim between the pow camp and the filipino village and every night . maybe i be not that picky when i know go in that this be not a blockbuster film . i guess that why it come on a 20 pack dvd war movie collection for five buck . the 70 music do not belong in this movie or any wwii movie . it quite distract to say the least . the acting be not that bad . probably well than i could do . not be a fan of football and at least i find out that jim brown be a real person and not somebody richard pryor make up . that in itself be worth the 25¢ i pay for this movie . worth watch on tcm or pay a quarter for . one star for be a war movie and another for be wwii and one more because i be feel generous .
