A Mel Gibson movie...and a great movie. It looks to be just another "hero" movie, but then...wait, first it's a TRUE STORY, second, it's HISTORY, and third...the main character is not really a typical american cowboy with lots of muscles, chewing gum, a big gun, a small brain (and testicles) but lots of testosterone. I'll say no more but it's truly worth seeing, first because it shows WWII as it truly was in the Pacific, it was not a clean war at all, and Okinawa, as I know it, is an ode to the Japanese mindset when thing are not going well.
4.5 out of 5, and I don't usually like American movies beyond 3/5, but this one really hit my bull's eye.
