    More of a "Thinking Man's" War flick, the Hispanic heritige of the hero is never mentioned in the film, and the real Guy Gabaldon was not the tall, blue-eyed, painfully handsome specimen as portrayed here by the great Jeffery Hunter (there's the hollywood studio system of the ti...( read more)me for you! Note:The real Guy Gabaldon was the technical advisor for this film). It's been several years since I've seen this one, but impressions remain. How Gabaldon esentially "went psycho" after seeing his buddy's skull split wide open by a Japanese Officers Katana sword, how he used his mastery of Japanese language to first hunt down and exterminate the enemy, then later using the same skills to save lives when he realizes with horror that the enemy are telling civilians that the Marines are going to rape/kill/slaughter their children and these hapless people begin throwing the babies off the cliffs and then comitting suicide. This is real stuff that actually happened, in fact there is documentary footage filmed on Saipan of civilians killing themselves. An interesting take on how mixing cultures can have unexpected results, and a servicible combat film based on actual events, I say grab the popcorn & check it out, I'm going to have to get the DVD for my collection and watch this one again. I might change this review after that however! we will see...(for more info see-http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy_Gabaldon
