#THE RAID FULL MOVIE MOVIE#

As I've suggested, there are certainly aspects of this movie that make it worthwhile viewing, but it certainly can't be mistaken for a masterpiece. Aside from Nielsen, the cast were fine, but in all honesty no one stood out to me as outstanding. Cloaked under the cover of pre-dawn darkness and silence, an elite swat team is tasked with raiding the safe house in order to take down the notorious drug lord that runs it. Utinski was a real person - and a winner of the Medal of Honour - but there are historical questions about her life, and there was certainly no romance involved in her actions, as is suggested throughout the movie. The character of Margaret Utinski (played by Connie Nielsen) was especially problematic.

In this case, though, we do know that the Japanese were in fact brutal captors. It's always hard to judge the accuracy of how the enemy is portrayed in a movie like this. 'Bridge On The River Kwai' springs to mind, but this is the only other one I think I've come across. As far as I can recall there haven't been very many movies depicting conditions in Japanese POW camps. 'The Great Raid' is the portrayal of a rescue mission to save five hundred of those POWs at the Cabanatuan camp before they're killed by their captors, as the Americans begin to close in during the closing days of the war. After the American evacuation of the Philippines following the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour, thousands of American servicemen were abandoned to the Japanese enemy, finding themselves facing brutal conditions in Japanese POW camps, and feeling forgotten by their country.
