Average Rating:
Rating: - Good overall representation
Good opening battle scene. The movie also shows the progression from young unattached soldier to married Medal of Honor recipient. The movie makes the viewer aware of how the character portrayed by Chad Everett is almost it seems embarassed by the fact he received the medal, and his sense of guilt in leaving his friends behind, to the point of resenting his soft life in the states as the war progresses. Good closing battle scene in which he finally comes to terms with his fear/nitche in the war, with the help of Gene Hackman...
Rating: - Disappointed !
I was hoping this movie would have more grit and substance but was very unhappy to see that it was a weak production with many flaws and long tedious sequences that had absolutely nothing to do with combat...A definate "thumbs down" affair...
Rating: - First to Fight
As a former Marine I enjoyed the action drama of combat. The island hopping campaigns of the U.S. Marines during World War II were inspirational to me. Chad Everett played a very good part in this movie along with Gene Hackman. A must see movie for all Marines.
