I did really like the movie for it"s historical role. I had an Uncle who was at Battaan in1942,and he survived it all. I do not know if he was at Cabantuan or not though, of if so was he there at the time of the rescue.

Very good movie. If you don’t understand or not savvy as to how combat missions are briefed, best to Google this event first so you can better understand how the raid took place. My father was imprisoned in that camp for 18 months before he escaped and joined the guerrillas in support of the US Forces. Want to learn what earning US citizenship is all about? Google the name of the Filipino Captain who led the guerrillas protecting the US Rangers. Read about his trials and tribulations of applying for US citizenship and how long his process took as well as whether it was granted or not and when. Despite what the Japanese did (and to my father), my Dad forgave the Japanese people. The phrase “War is Hell” is true.

The Great Raid is a VERY GOOD WWII War Film! We're not much into war films as much as we are into documentaries, but this is ONE GOOD MOVIE!! Why we bought it? We had never heard of it, but we ran across is and the cover material was very interesting, not to mention that Ebert & Roeper gave it TWO THUMBS UP. So, we thought we would check it out. We found it to be a very interesting movie, with great special events, and some pretty graphic scenes. It is Rated R17. BUY IT? Most Definitely!!! We HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!! It kept our attention from beginning to end, and will sure to be a movie we will share with others.

The moment I read the summary if these movie, i immediately want to see, not only because it happened in the philippines which i came from, but because it was a true story of one of the most heroic war history of the US military rescue mission. I can relate the things so much on what had happened on those days since this situation happened in my home country. All the settings was perfect, they really captured the true essence of the story. Dramatic, adventure, heroic, love story, friendship, everything! Perfect till the end. Go get one for yourself now!
1 July 2010: A true page of history. Folks go on & purchase this Dvd. It is worth the price. This movie shows that we are all of value & that no one will be left behind. We are now righting a great injustic done to our Phillipino US Army Veterans. They earned with their shed blood & deserve their US Army penisons $$$$$$$$$$. It took almost 60+ years to grant these last few Veterans their reward $$$$$$$ for loyal & faithful service to the US Government!!!!!!!! The movie shows the brave Phillipino people, the civilians & Veterans helping to save the captured US Army prisioners held by the Japanese Army. Also purshase the Dvd {To End All Wars, with British & American captives} Also a great movie, same subject.. Bs/Ws Charles...
