A few months ago there were ads all over the TV about an upcoming movie about the Ranger rescue of POW's from the Cabanatuan prison camp. First off, does anyone remember the name of the movie? And second, has it been released yet? I read the book Ghost Soldiers about this rescue and was looking forward to seeing the movie.

Thanks.

It was called THE GREAT RAID and opened 12 August for about a week locally. It should be on DVD very soon.

Thanks Al. I didn't think it could have been out too long, but man, only a week? Amazon says it comes out on DVD on 12/20. Oh well, buying it is cheaper than going to the movies anyway.

Funny, but that's exactly what I was thinking when I wrote the original post!
