Short Review

Let's pack as much tedium into one movie as possible. Terrible casting helps, Hugh O'Brian's craggy faced, taciturn sergeant is awful and only just eclipsed in piled on cliches by Micky Rooney risibly portrayed battle hardened marine, but James Mitchum, possibly the worst actor ever to stumble in front of a camera makes everyone else on set look like Olivier. As for the Japanese characters, the ask must have been- just be as mean, diabolical and inept as you can manage. The plot line was turgidly cumbersome. Mercifully, Mitchum's last, laughable line ‘It all seems kinda crazy, who's to say?' did not take quite two hours to get to, but it sure felt a much longer film than its 1 hour and 50 minutes. I'm not familiar with director Ron Winston's other directorial efforts and I'm not in a hurry to become so.
