What the critics say 5.0, from one outlet

  • 5.0 CriticEconomic Times The film feels like an Americanised anti-Japanese drama. Read
  • CriticJ.B. A lot of these anti-Japanese propaganda films really protest too much. Read
  • CriticLP HUGO It?s obvious that the film?s production has been a financial and planning mess, and thus it?s a minor victory that it remains a solid war epic. Read
