Audience Member During WW II an elite team is sent to locate and rescue the survivors of a shot down plane, stranded on a South Pacific island occupied by the Japanese. One of the castaways is a defecting Japanese official who holds the secret to ending the war, and must be saved at all costs. stars Mel Gibson, John Phillip Law, Sam Neill, Chris Haywood, John Waters, Yu Wang, Sylvia Chang and O Ti. directed by Tim Burstall. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Great war movie based on a small mission in ww2. It also reminds everyone of what a great screen presence Mel Gibson was. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member Supposedly based on real missions in which everyone was apparently killed, just how accurate this movie is is anyone's guess. Highlights include the very talented and cute Sylvia Chang and listening to Mel Gibson's Australian accent. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member Not a bad Aussie war movie...Good for a boring Sunday anyways :) Usually when I see WWII movies with Japs you expect gruesome killings but although this had it fair share of death they weren't horrific scenes that make you turn it off... Worth a look for a shoot em up WWII movie... Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Ann elite military is team dispatched during W.W.II to locate and rescue the survivors of a shot-down plane, stranded on a South Pacific island occupied by Japanese. One of the castaways, a defecting Japanese official, holds the secret to ending the war, and must be saved at all costs. stars Mel Gibson, John Phillip Law, Sam Neill, Chris Haywood, John Waters, Yu Wang and Sylvia Chang. directed by Tim Burstall. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member A pretty generic World War 2 commando film. The dream cast and the Asian context make it a bit more interesting than the average. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews
