Watch Five Scouts For Free
Five Scouts
An early example of the Japanese war film, closer to documentary realism than the kind of propaganda produced at the height of the Pacific War. "A company commander calls on five men. They are to reconnoiter, but on their way they are attacked. Only four of them return. While his companions mourn the fifth straggles back. Soon after comes the order to move out for a general attack. The men know that this time there will be no returning." (Donald Richie)

Good concept, poorly executed.
Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.
