The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

ATTACK FORCE Z is a little-known low budget war film from Australia, featuring an all-star cast of familiar faces. The film was shot in Taiwan and also features a wealth of talent from a Chinese cast, including former Shaw Brothers star Jimmy Wang Yu who is completely unrecognisable playing a Japanese official.This film follows the usual men-on-a-mission format with Mel Gibson, John Phillip Law, and Sam Neill teaming up rescue the survivors of a plane crash who are hiding out from local Japanese forces. The low budget nature of the production actually works in the film's favour, giving it a grittily realistic look, and I loved the small scale nature of the action scenes which zing with excitement. None of the cast are at their best here, but Gibson, Law, and Neill are all reliably good and, most importantly, likable.

Continuing my plan to watch every Mel Gibson movie in order I come to Attack Force Z from 1981.Plot In A Paragraph: A group of commandos go on a secret mission to check for survivors of a plane crash. By the numbers, cliché ridden, dull, flat and instantly forgettable. There are some good individual performances, but the film, though produced with efficiency and what looks like a decent budget, is tough to say great things about this movie. It probably wasn't helped by my DVD having a poor transfer. I'd go so far as to say if Mel Gibson and Sam Neil weren't in this movie it probably would have even had a DVD released.

Under the conditions this film was made, I think it sends a powerful anti-war message. When the film was made the original director left due to differences with the producers, a new director was brought in at short notice and that was an unfortunate setback for the film. This film has a great Australian cast plus John Philip Law. Mel Gibson plays his character with the conviction and talent he is famous for, he had just completed Mad Max and was well on his way to Stardom! This film focuses on a team of special ops Commando's call the "Z Force", similar to the green beret's, these were highly trained soldier's, equipped to handle the most impossible missions, this is one story of one mission which really happened during WWII, had this mission been a success,it is believed this would have altered the outcome of the war with the Japanese, unfortunately their mission was a failure and this is the message which is so powerful.. the total waste war creates. I enjoyed this film and i think you will enjoy it as well.

I presume that this movie was meant to be a tribute for the Australasian special forces operating in WW2. Now, I've no doubt that they were totally professional and highly trained individuals, I just don't think this movie did them too many favours. They made so many tactical errors and decisions based on emotion that I'm quite sure in real life, thy wouldn't have made. Individuals leaving their unit as they'd fallen for a girl! Sorry, but it just wouldn't have happened with so much at stake. On the positive side, this had a great cast and terrific authentic locations. The action sequences were well done and the torture scenes particularly harrowing. But at the end of the movie, I just sat there thinking, what were they really fighting for and was it all necessary? So many lives taken without a second thought and for what? Not a classic, but thought provoking which in my book, is never bad.
