thats exactly what I thought of the film...im glad it wasnt a sorta corny overdone action film...it made me feel uncomfortable...because of the approach it took it may have sacrificed some ratings or even critical acclaim but I think they did a good job and didnt cheapen the story of Kokoda which would have angered me.

To the Japanese, the Beaufighter became known as "The Whispering Death" which gives some idea of the speed at which one could suddenly appear, strike and turn for home. Beaufighters were also flown by the air forces of Britain, Australia, Canada, New Zealand and, in small numbers, the US

Now if only some one would make a film about 75 squadrons defence of Port Moresby or a movie about Milne Bay.
Agreed Wildcat, I thought it was good portray of the events and the hardships the Aussies faced on the trail.
