MRs and I went yesterday to see it. Theatre was practically empty, but it was very enjoyable, if somewhat predictable.

It just felt a little bit disjointed and hurried together. Three out of five stars.

Micheal Medved recommended it as well as "The Skeleton Key".

Glad you got to see "The Great Raid." I plan to see it if it ever comes here. You would think that at least one screen in this conservative pro-military town would have it on the first day. Some theater managers were obviously asleep at the switch.

It's only on three screens in all of Memphis TN, while we having 20-25+ showings each for "4 Brothers" and "Hustle and Flow".

My best friend took his two boys to see this movie yesterday here on Maui and they all loved it. He told me that they sat by an elderly Filipino man and that he was crying through most of the movie. It must have brought back old memories of places and people in the Philippines.
