3.5/5
It's one of the better war films of its era but the biggest problem with Objective, Burma! is that it's more American than it has any right to be. Go to Full Review Mattie Lucas From the Front Row 08/26/2021
3/4
One of the finest American war films to be released during WWII. Go to Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews 07/21/2021
B+
The action is gritty, the dialogue is sparse and the star Errol Flynn is at his swashbuckling best. Go to Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy 07/17/2021
3.5/4
