Inauthentic, script was banal, costuming not historically accurate, fight scenes like a B Kung-Fu movie. Formulaic and uninspired.
This movie plays like a mediocre made for TV drama and just doesn't involve or demand much from the audience. I frankly couldn't finish watching it because I found it insulting and trite. I was disappointed to have paid good cash to see it and have it be so unoriginal and pedestrian. I only hope that some day a filmmaker will approach the Battle of Saipan authentically because it was truly a horrific sacrifice of American lives and deserves a better treatment than this refuse.
