I love this movie, but there is one super dumb part of it that I never understood. "Release me by 6am or everyone dies". Then they proceed to stay at the prison to protect everyone till 6am and leave, but, he said everyone would die after 6am. How does an editor miss this huge flaw?
My cousin, Pfc. Robert Howard Carver, was killed in combat by the Japs at Leyte. The Japs were the most inhumane and brutal of the Axis countries, including Nazi Germany, with prisoners. The Japs were bound by their Samurai code of sacrifice and brutality. They were contemptible of prisoners, who they believed were cowards and unworthy to live. Why we didn't hold tribunals to punish the Japanese barbarity is mostly because everyone was tired of the war by the time it ended in Aug. 1945. Many of the Japs escaped punishment and were free to return to their homes.
Such a stupid fucking movie, even worse than Paycheck. Ben Affleck has some _SHIT_ movies out there. Add in Gigli, too. You watched it once and immediately regret the nearly two hours you lost.
