The acting is very good and Brand is magnificent with excellent dialogue, I don't think todays writers could have put it together like this was written, the old breed is gone.

Serling himself knew the Pacific war well as a decorated paratrooper.
"During fighting for Rizal Stadium, Serling shot and killed a Japanese soldier on third base in the baseball diamond. On another occasion, a Japanese soldier had his rifle pointed directly at Serling from close range. Stunned and unable to react, the American prepared to die. In a split second, though, another paratrooper stepped behind Serling and shot down the enemy soldier. By the time the war had ended, only one out of every three men in Serling’s regiment had survived—fulfilling the prediction made during parachute training."
