November. 20,2012Most people think that World War II started on September 1st, 1939, when the Germans invaded Poland, and then spread to Asia on September 7th 1941, after the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. However, World War II actually started ten years earlier, when Manchuria was invaded by a now-forgotten Japanese general: Kanji Ishiwara. This is the little known truth about the most famous war in history.
Reviews
It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
