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.

Everything about this movie is wrong. In just the first few minutes there were so many historical inaccuracies that saying the story is set in WWII is outrageous. The dialogue, the uniforms, the weapons, the equipment are glaringly anachronistic. The movie isn't interesting, exciting, or watchable. It isn't even tolerable. The acting is embarrassingly bad. Why was this movie even made? It is nothing but a waste of time. I only wish I had looked up some reviews before I decided to sit down and suffer through the first half hour of horror. I couldn't take anymore. I just could not. I could only take so much punishment.

Whoever directed this elementary school project should work at Burger King because that's about the extent of their skill. I could have had more entertainment just sitting around picking my nose. This was an hour and a half of my life that I wish I could get back. Everything from the special effects to the acting was terrible. If you are reading reviews prior to watching, they will be more entertaining! I can assure you that a single episode of Saturday Night Live is better! Clearly they had no military people advising them on anything war related. The story line is atrocious and would have been worthy of a D- in grade school!

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.
