    One of the best wars films I have seen made pre 90's. Has tons of action on a grand scale.

    There's an odd quality to Beach Red that i am having a hard time putting my finger on. First off the film is shot in a kinda documentary style. All the characters have thought dialogue and they have flashbacks of home that are for the most part still images. The flashbacks are a...( read more) little too much and really take away from the film. I know what Cornel Wilde was trying to accomplish by doing this, i just dont think he did it well. He may have been the first american filmmaker to try and give some sympathy towards the japanese in a WWII film. They too have "humanizing" flashbacks. Beach Red is kind of an anti-war War film. And not really a great one at that. Its worth a watch if you like war films. Its pretty bloody. And the action is well staged, but still theres just something 'off' about this film.

    Jill bought this on DVD in Malaysia when we were bored and looking for "something to watch" . Jill said "it looks a bit like "black hawk down"
    FFS! it is THE worst film I've ever seen.
    I was only reminded this at the weekend whilst discussing shit movies, and had to share this...( read more) on Flixster.
    Its almost worth seeing just so you can see how bad it is!!!!!
