Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Exciting if occasionally awkward ...
The actual Operation Chromite was a surprise. In the movie version, you can hear everything coming from miles away.
South Korean reverence for MacArthur and the U.S. military is evident here in the same way that "Our Warmest Congratulations on Your Graduation" is evident in a Hallmark card.
