What a shame. A great story about the bombing run on Tokyo and the aftermath being the crash in Japan and the attempted survival of the 5 US airmen.
That's what the film should have been about. Instead we get an airmen hiding out, the relationship between him and the people helping and a possible adoption.
It seems like a true story but makes no claim that it is.
The direction is basic, the acting is poor and there is no real emotion between the characters because they cannot communicate. As a result none of the finale is believable.
I have to wonder how a director like Spielberg, Fincher, etc would film such a great story.
