Excellent, Without a doubt!!
It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.
Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
This a great documentary featuring Japanese-Americans who served the American military in WWII from different walks of life (Hawaiians who were already serving, mainlanders whose families were in relocation camps while they served, and MIS) who recount both military experiences in general and experiences (both positive and negative) specific to being Japanese-Americans serving after Pearl Harbor. I think what is particularly interesting and touching about this documentary is how they get these guys to open up and talk about something that they haven't talked about before; they have footage of more than one guy recounting things and their closest family members (wives, daughters) saying how they never heard them talk about these things before, and when I showed it to one of my friends she was surprised to see her grandfather featured (and said she had never heard him talk about the things he talked about either). I have lent my DVD to so many friends that now I've lost track of it and need to buy a new one.
