Rated 
(for realistic war violence and language) |
 A broad, sweeping
war epic surrounding the Allied effort at Guadalcanal during
World War II. From the author of From Here to Eternity
and the director of Days of Heaven, with a heavyweight
cast. My chief complaints about this movie are that too many
characters look the same and it is too long. |
