3 Days in Malay

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!

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.

I know a fair bit about WW2 -- my dad served in the USN in Pacific and I grew up watching Victory at Sea. Over and over. Lately, I've been reading about the loss of Singapore and then the slow counter in the China-Burma Theater. Closest that Marines might have come to Malaya might have been when USS Saratoga (CV-3) was sent to train with the British Eastern Fleet in 1944. If there were any Marines aboard Saratoga.

If anything like this ever happened, it would have been British, Indian, or Australian troops holding off the Japanese.

This mess appears to have begun as a script about a company of the US Army bravely defending a fort against human-wave attacks of Indians, standing their ground in the stockade walls and hoping to hear the bugles of a cavalry regiment sent to their rescue. Of course, western forts did not have stockades, while they did have cannons, and western Indians did attack forts, and, even more, Indians did not attack in human waves.

Or, perhaps, the director got the script from John Ford's "Drums Along the Mohawk", 1939, and, randomly picked out a war and signed up some unknown actors to replace Claudette Colbert and Henry Fonda.

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.

Go into the street, find the filthiest beggar, and get spit in the face. This will more worthwile than watching this garbage.

I guess someone really wanted a paid vacation in Thailand, got himself a ChatGPT script, and somehow found some chumps to invest in a fake movie.

I'm ashamed to say I sat through this whole insult to humanity, but here's a few details:

• dialogue is abysmal and nonsensical
• all the "japanese" are clearly from southeast asia.

• peasants from southeast asia saunter through a battlefield that's not even on the same continent
• the machine guns are made of rubber, you can actually see the barrels flexing.

• acting is... just... just stop

Utter trash.
