Featured review
Dumb Waste of Time
Not a true story. Just because the producers place a comment in a sequence doesn't make it so. There is however a "shaving" of truth. There were instances where POW's took action against a fellow prisoner but not as portrayed in this production nor for the reason's played out.
The actor portrayals were poor as was the cinematography, musical score, direction and the script. I happen to enjoy bad movies that don't generally portray themselves as anything more than what they are, made on a razor thin budget based on a bad or a rehashed idea. Rather, a poor movie that runs nearly two hours that has good actors in poor portrayals, with little to no inspiration with a twist in the ending that didn't really happen isn't worth sitting through.
Save your time, watch something from Ed Wood, Roger Corman, MST3000 where you have a good idea what you're in for and might get a couple chuckles along the way. I enjoy Richard Johnson's work, this was not enjoyable.
