Bleeding great mate - Attack Force Z review by JD
A sterling cast from which Gibson shines, but all are outstanding. The Japanese cast is also brilliant. This is definitely a feel good war action film but with the refinement of being based on historical fact and having a good plot. The action scenes are exciting and personal, the romantic element not too incongruous.
