The long awaited movie based on the best seller "Ghost Soldiers" is being released...and is being highly advertised here, since many of the soldiers involved in the rescue and who were saved were Philippinos.
Set in the Philippines in 1945, "The Great Raid" tells the true story of the 6th Ranger Battalion, under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Henry Mucci (Benjamin Bratt) who undertake a daring rescue mission against all odds. Traveling thirty miles behind enemy lines, the 6th Ranger Battalion aims to liberate over 500 American prisoners-of-war from the notorious Cabanatuan Japanese POW camp in the most audacious rescue ever.
Genres: Action/Adventure and Thriller
Release Date: August 12th, 2005 (wide).
MPAA Rating: R for strong
Alas, the long delay in releasing it suggests problems with the script or with production values...so I suspect it will come and go with little fanfare in the USA...
FINEST KIND CLINIC AND FISHMARKET.... Discussing medicine, culture, and the joys of cooking Pansit.
