The Great Raid

The Great Raid was a movie about the greatest victory in US history in terms of being out numbered by enemy solders. Colonel Mucci lead the raid and trained the men. Colonel Mucci was famous for being fearless. Colonel Mucci did an unbelievable job training men who weren't combat solders. He led an attack on a Japanese POW camp. They prevailed even though they were out numbered 10 to 1.

In the move there was no training only Mucci playing cards while his men laid around. Then when offered the chance to raid the Japanese he has someone one else plan the raid. When they get to the POW camp Mucci is afraid to attack. There is a scene where Mucci talks to an aid he is on the verge of tears says he is worried that the men have lost trust in him. That scene was a lie. Most of the film consists of POWs suffering in the camps. The main character in the film is a POW who dreams of being reunited with the great love of his life. When the film ends it turns that he is one of the only persons who die. There was no combat to speak of only a few explosions and a couple of people being shot. This film was the worst film I ever saw.
