The Great Raid stars Spiderman's James Franco as
Captain Prince a real life hero from World War 2 who lead a courageous
raid to save captured American soldiers from the Japanese.
The movie is very patriotic in tone, but it's more of a historical piece than
a John Wayne
flag waver. It's authenic, realistic, and respectful to the real life soldiers
and heroes of World War 2. If action is your ownly reason for watching movies
you may be disappointed just a little. This movie is mostly story driven and is
for those of us who love history. Still the ending is very action packed filled
with explosions, gunfire, etc. The good guys win in the end. Just the way I like
a movie.
