Overreaching, muddled and not reliably accurate
November 11, 2016
Not exactly unwatchable, but it's also completely not worthy of watching.
November 09, 2016
As a dramatic postscript to the factors that led to Japanese surrender, its power and importance are undeniable.

One can't help but be mortified for Cage. A bargain-basement would-be WW2 epic with hilariously poor CGI and an abysmal script.
November 10, 2016
Cage remains uncharacteristically subdued in the lead role. Or perhaps I'm misinterpreting his complete boredom.
November 12, 2016
This slapdash war movie doesn't do justice to its compelling subject matter.
November 10, 2016
The film's leaden treatment of this incredible story somehow sucks all the drama out of it.
November 09, 2016
Nicolas Cage headlines this lethargic, chintzy retelling of the tragedy that befell the USS Indianapolis during World War II.
November 09, 2016
Every expense has been spared: The sets are either claustrophobically limited or anonymously empty; the period detail is nonexistent; and the special effects are on par with a Syfy original.
November 06, 2016
A World War II epic about the cruiser that carried the A-bomb, and was disastrously torpedoed, never finds its dramatic life.
November 10, 2016
The script by Cam Cannon and co-producer Richard Rionda Del Castro is frustratingly unfocused, jumping from incident to incident while using Cage's flat, whispered narration to fill the gaps.
