Movie Reviews of Hell in the Pacific
Movie Review: 3 stars out of 4
Summary: 4 Stars
The Bottom Line:
One of the few films I can name with only two actors, Hell in the Pacific takes two of the world's most forceful actors (Lee Marvin and Toshiro Mifune) and casts them as enemies stranded on the same island in the Pacific with no idea of the other's language; something like the Twilight Zone episode "Two" without the romance, Hell in the Pacific is an interesting and unique film.
Movie Review: Clash of Enemies
Summary: 4 Stars
Two enemies are trapped on a island together! There are only two actors in this film but it is one of my top films for Japan WW2. By using the subtitles you will understand the Japanese dialogue. This movie keeps you glued to the screen until the last moment. The ending is sudden and I didn't think it fit until I watched it again. There is also a Alternate Ending on the DVD.Movie Review: Hell In The Pacific
Summary: 4 Stars
"Hell In The Pacific" is unusual, interesting and well worth seeing. This is a two person drama set on a Pacific island during World War II. Toshiro Mifune and Lee Marvin each bring unique acting skills to their roles. Wow! What an ending! I will watch this again, for sure.Movie Review: a thinking movie
Summary: 4 Stars
This movie is not for everyone, but if you like to try and see the whys of wars, give this a serious look. No special effects, only two actors, and yet you want to see how it ends. The alternate ending doesn't tie things up so neatly, and makes you rethink the whole movie.Movie Review: a fine exam of cultures
Summary: 4 Stars
Two fine players in a worthwhile examination of the multiple levels of engagement in wartime, culture, and cooperation. A valuable film to see more than once, and to think about, with a historical perspective. Well-recommended.
