3 Days in Malay

The title says it all. A one star general, inside, wearing a helmet with a chin strap...and a cinched waist on his BDUs. Say what? What a lame excuse for a tribute to the men who experienced those three days in Malay. The characters were one dimensional caricatures, GI Joe figures staged beyond the realm of credibility. I have been watching war flicks for 60 years and my "embrace the suck" meter pegged out on this peace of tripe. Rotten Tomatoes gave this film a 91%. I'm gobsmacked. The set staging looked, uh, staged. I am loath to find anything to recommend watching this production. A handle bar mustache is hard to imagine as a reasonable sight in any combat theater. The list can go on ad nauseam, but I won't lest my comments loose their punch.

The film is full of crazy scenes, such as spying on the enemy walking at a distance of 20 meters with binoculars. Using machine guns that shoot without bullets. You can really see that these were not loaded. During an attack, several Japanese are shot dead who fall in front of the defense, a few minutes later a second attack follows and the previous victims suddenly were remove the scene. Between attacks, soldiers play cards and no one stands guard. It was more like a hobby club. Otherwise terrible conversations. I really don't recommend this movie to anyone. I really didn't watch the movie until the end and turned it off after 3/4. What a waste of time.

Based on a true story. I dont think so First the title. Malay is a language not a country.

All the fighting in Malaya which i assume this is what they were meaning involved only British and Commonwealth troops There were no Americans involved not that that has ever stopped Hollywood before.

Lets face it large numbers of people out there who nelieve that hollywood movies are real history Saying it was based on a true story is a insult to all the allied troops incolved in the war in the far east. All i can say is don't waste your time on this rubbish There are far better films out there to watch.

The acting is terrible and the dialogue is horrendous. The scene set ups are in a word abysmal while the uniforms, weaponry, personnel interactions and just about everything else is time period incorrect. I think the ONLY thing correct about this movie is that during World War II the United States was at war with Japan. Whoever gives this Movie even a mediocre review Should seriously consider getting a mental health review. Whoever financed this movie either needed a losing tax break or promised someone they could get them into a movie and this was the only way they could do it. To say don't waste your time would be an understatement.

Even I know as a civilian that you DO NOT graduate top class from West Point only to become a sergeant that berates a General! And why do they keep referring to him as (Sir) when he's not even an officer!!?? This amateur-hour "movie" will make you cringe with the cheesy/cliche dialogue. The American accents are terrible! Especially from the guy claiming to be from New York. And having Privates that are 50 years old? Please, if that were the case, those guys would have been hardened WWI veterans! I could go on and on... You should definitely watch this movie if you are up to having your intelligence insulted.
