Customer Reviews

Gritty WWII Island Adventure
This is a gritty WWII adventure set in the Philippines before General MacArthur's return. Standard formula has Jimmy Rodgers and Jack Nicholson sent to take out a Japanese communications center. Dialogue is at a minimum and the story is told almost entirely visually. Jack Nicholson sure looks young and Jimmy Rodgers looks as though he could have made a career as an actor.

Very poor acting
Boring movie, with very wooden actors.
Give this one a pass over, it took me 3 separate viewings to get through the whole movie. The acting was so monotone it kept putting me to sleep.
It would be nice if they could get some movies on DVD that deserve to be there.
Tobruk
Play Dirty
Red Ball Express
None But the Brave
Just to name a few.

I like Your Idea About Play Dirty
Hey I like that idea about releasing Play Dirty, wheres it at????? I think that movie is awesome, of course it looses its punch after the first viewing but man what a great film for war film buffs. No clue about this movie with the Jackster but its never on TV so it must be pretty bad. Jack was just starting so you can't blame him.
