PUNQ

Rated 24 Mar 2019

More a interesting take on the filthy war than a good one. A group of captured Americans are put on trial in Japan for their attack on Japanese territory. And they are faced with the moral dilemma of saving themselves or to give the Japanese more fuel on the war fire. While it had a clear propaganda message, the set-up was rather realistic and not too sensationalized. Solid overall.
