Enemy Within

The original events would have made a better story. The most unHawaiian movie about Hawaii. Everything was off. From houses to clothes. Hawaiians didn't hunt boar with long bows and who spears fish that way. What Nisei speaks with a Japanese accent. It would have helped if the film makers did a little research before the filmed.

This movie is no closer to being based on the Niihau Incident than a Chipotle fart is to telling the tale of Abraham Lincoln.

Don't be making genuine heroes weak by removing their ACTUAL ACTIONS AND MOTIVATIONS and make genuine REAL LIFE VILLAINS sympathetic by giving them fake stories.

An amazing story was RUINED AND WASTED with this film. The filmmakers should be ashamed!

Read the Wiki story about the Niihau Incident before you watch this movie, watch the movie and afterward read the Wiki story again to connect all the dots. Watch the movie again and you'll probably realize it was a good movie.

Some parts of the movie weren't accurate like the plane crashing into the sea instead of in a field. At the end , they had the Japanese pilot stabbing himself. The real story was Ben throwing the Pilot against the wall and his wife knocked him out. Ben slit the pilots throat and killed him. The American Soldiers at the end looked like Eastern Europe Communist soldiers with the odd looking uniforms. I wish they showed a little of the Pearl Harbor Attack in the beginning .

A pretty good movie. I visited Pearl Harbor about a month and a half after the 50th anniversary of the attack. Went out on a Navy Launch and visited the Arizona memorial. Flew over to Kauai and stayed there about 3 nights. Never heard about the Niihau Incident , learned about it watching a documentary about the Attack on Pearl Harbor.

One of the worst movies I have seen in a long time. Won't waste many words on this review. I was hoping for some action but fell asleep instead until the last 15 minutes when there was some action.

The events in the movie are very slow, that I almost fell asleep. There are also many scenes in Japanese where you can't understand what's happening but you have to guess. And the end is not good. In short, the movie can be shortened to a half an hour instead wasting two hours on such slow movie.
