Pretty average

I don't know enough about Aussie involvement in WWII to say if this hasactually happened, but I understand that there are definitely somethings that don't ring true, accuracy-wise. The plot is fine, though Ican't claim that this ever gripped me. Not even a firm handshake. Thepacing is reasonable enough, and the battles and such have theirmoments. Acting is mixed, none of it got me that engaged in this. WasGibson not a name yet? Mad Max was out, as was its first sequel. Did henot get recognition before Lethal Weapon? I am not sufficientlyfamiliar with his career, and I frankly don't care to be. Neill, comeon, he's got talent, had that not been realized at this point? Did heneed a paycheck? That badly? Seriously? While I suppose I may have justwatched a half-heartedly put together copy of this, I gotta say...there were a lot of speeches in, I guess Mandarin, that seemed to beimportant and like they should affect the audience, in spite of thefact that they were not subbed. What gives? I did follow the story,however, if the words were meant to evoke emotion, they failed. Still,this is not useless, or it doesn't have to be. If so inclined, you canmake drinking games for it. How about every time a gun fires withoutmaking a sound? Each time the piece of music playing in this is onethat belongs in a film at least one or two decades prior to the releaseof this. And of course, whenever you spot a tired action flick clichÃ©.Make sure to stock up. I recommend this to the biggest fans of warmovies. 5/10

War...What is it good for?

I presume that this movie was meant to be a tribute for theAustralasian special forces operating in WW2. Now, I've no doubt thatthey were totally professional and highly trained individuals, I justdon't think this movie did them too many favours. They made so manytactical errors and decisions based on emotion that I'm quite sure inreal life, thy wouldn't have made. Individuals leaving their unit asthey'd fallen for a girl! Sorry, but it just wouldn't have happenedwith so much at stake. On the positive side, this had a great cast andterrific authentic locations. The action sequences were well done andthe torture scenes particularly harrowing. But at the end of the movie,I just sat there thinking, what were they really fighting for and wasit all necessary? So many lives taken without a second thought and forwhat? Not a classic, but thought provoking which in my book, is neverbad.

A childhood favourite.

War films formed the basis of many a childhood, mine included, and thisfilmis a firm favourite of mine, my brother and my cousin.Made by the Australian film industry it is one of two films about theAustralian Special Task Force Z during the Second World War. It shows thatthe war in the Pacific was not won solely by the Americans and that theJapanese occupation of China was brutal to anyone who would oppose them.Having seen photos of what the Japanese did to Chinese relatives of mineandto the population of China in general this film goes someway to highlight arather forgotten piece of history.Having said that, taking the film as an action/ war drama it is well pacedand fairly realistic with but one feat of fantasy. As cinematic trivia itisnoteworthy for the performances of Mel Gibson, Sam Neill and singer/actressSylvia Chang pre-stardom. The star that never was, John Phillip Law takescentre stage for the most part but is beaten for intensity by Gibson as theyoung officer. The effects are a bit ropey, the blood has the red paintquality of war films of the late 60's - early 70's, but this adds to thecharm.If you like "men on a mission" films you should enjoy this.NB- For more films on the Z Special Forces see "Heroes" 1 and 2 (made fortv). "Heroes 2" follows the same failed real-life mission as the second ofthe two Australian films whose title escapes me.

A decent war movie

A little-known World War 2 drama despite featuring the talents of MelGibson and Sam Neill. The film follows an Australian Special Forcesteam led by Gibson on a mission to rescue the occupants of a planecrash-landed on a Pacific Island. Naturally, the island is swarmingwith Japanese determined to thwart the mission at every turn.The film is not without its weaknesses; Gibson & Neill are a littleflat thanks to a script that doesn't allow them to show off theirtalents to the full(compare to Gibson's brilliant performance as FrankDunn in Gallipoli made around the same time). The music is poignant butfails to add much to the drama and there is a low-budget feel to muchof the film in general.Having said that, Attack Force Z is fairly entertaining; it moves at agood pace and there are plenty of well-staged action sequences. Theending makes a strong statement on the futility of war. A decentaddition to your war movie collection but for fans of the genre only.

Interesting curio of a movie because of who its stars would become

An odd little curio of an Australian action movie, made in 1982,enjoyable in itself as a popcorn movie for its WWII commando story. Butit would largely be forgettable were it not that two of itslower-ranking actors--Australian Mel Gibson and New Zealander SamNeill--were soon to became big international stars. Gibson, it's true,had made *Gallipoli* and a few other Australian movies, and Neill hadstarred in a delightful little picture called *My Brilliant Career*(with Judy Davis, no less), but both were largely unknown at this time.The headliner in *Attack Force Z* was good ol' American pulp-actionhero John Philip Law, whose credits went all the way back to the early'60s and included the likes of *The Russians are Coming! The Russiansare Coming!* Yet Law, for all his good looks and occasional noteworthyappearances, never reached anything like the fame that awaited his twoco-stars in this minor action picture. It's worth seeing if only to bereminded that *everybody* has to understudy somebody else early in hisor her career.

What an excellent film!

Sam Neill is such a hottie. And I love that Mr. Box! And my favorite scenein the whole thing was the one where the trees were talking to each otherwith the subtitles. Brilliant filmmaking!
