PUNQ

Rated 19 Mar 2019

War epic where "Doctor" Gary Cooper (yes, because a intelligent Doctor is the first thing that comes to mind when you see Gary Cooper) saves a bunch of wounded soldiers as Japan go on their bombing spree around Asia. The film is positive enough as a moral booster, but they really made this too long. There is not enough variety or special moments to warrant 2+ hour color movie, regardless of how much Gary Cooper was Gary Cooper.
