I'm a war history buff and I have to say it took far too long to tell the story about the 442nd all Japanese battalion of America. It was told in an earlier movie titled "Go for Broke" starring Van Johnson and it too was very good for its time. The difference I found between both movies was the battle sequences. "Go For Broke" told more of the battles while "Only The Brave" dealt mostly with the final battle and the psychological effects of battle on one man. The movie itself was well played out and it deserves a high rating if for no other reason than it told of a real battalion, real men, real battle(s) and the effects of battle. As for the rest of the story it is only an assumption of the writers and is left up to the viewers comments.

A very good portayal of yet another historic event that occurred during WW2 that was left out of our American History textbooks. The acting on all counts was excellent; each character being enhanced using flashbacks of personal lives leading to volunteering to serve to fight for America.

This movie is not easy to find. It never made it into the theaters in our region, darn it.
My brother happened to see it in California and said it was worth finding the DVD. Checked ebay (ripoff prices galore) and Amazon, and again, Amazon won hands down.
It's a good B movie action flick. Have watched it twice now and am glad I bought it. It will go into the my collection.

There is so much heart and soul invested in this production. It is a story that is slipping away from America's conscientiousness and it should not.
It is clearly not a big budget film - everyone involved in it gave of their time or money just to get the picture made. The story is compellingly written and well acted. Get it. Watch it. And share

Rather overly melodramatic presentation on a subject that itself is stirring.

For my family, it was a reminder of a Uncle killed in Sicily and 2 uncles who also served. My one Uncle who was also
a sergeant bore a resemblance to Lane. There are stories not told how the 442 was treated by General Mark Clark and
General Eisenhower by our government. A lot of the casualties were caused be racial prejudice by those in charge. another
time, history!

Those nisei who served in WWII the way African Americans did as Buffalo Soldiers mean so much to me, I hope that if my brother sees this, he'll stop bigoting about the Japanese shows I watch.

Not exactly your typical war movie, very little fighting action. More time is spend on individual home personal lives and wounded soldiers dying.
