The special effects were the only (barely) redeeming factor. The music was bad. The dialog was pathetic. The fact that they used Caucasian actors and actresses to portray Asians is a slap in the face to Asians. This is the problem when Hollywood gets its hands on history. Even Saving Private Ryan, which was advertised as fiction, was more historically accurate in terms of dialog, music, and costume. Same goes for U571. Platoon, one of my favorites, as well as Full Metal Jacket, are much better movies simply because those who made them chose to make them authentic in spite of their fictional plots. Pass this one by. It is almost as bad as The Green Berets.
