John Anderson Variety Given that the subject matter cries out for delicacy, and that the film's subjects seem emotionally fragile, Suzuki's tactics are surprisingly hamhanded. Apr 9, 2012 Full Review Neil Genzlinger New York Times The execution is a bit clumsy, but the documentary "MIS: Human Secret Weapon" shines a light on an interesting bit of World War II history... Rated: 3/5 Apr 5, 2012 Full Review Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times The third documentary in Junichi Suzuki's significant series about the Japanese American experience in World War II.

Rated: 3.5/5 Apr 11, 2012 Full Review David Noh Film Journal International An important documentary about little-known, vital Japanese-American efforts to win World War II succeeds in imparting the story, although marred by some clumsily obvious directorial choices.

Audience Member Sadly, the soundtrack deters from whatever the veterans are saying. The volume is so low that the music drowns out the testimonies. Too bad that this was not corrected before general sale, since it might have been worthy of purchase and sharing with people who have no idea of the Japanese-American soldiers' roles in WWII. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews
