Aside from Cagney's gritty performance, the subdued biopic, shot in black-and-white and in an episodic semi-documentary style, lacks oomph and muscle.

In October 1942, Vice Admiral William "Bull" Halsey assumes command of Allied forces in the South Pacific. His task is a daunting one - ground forces on Guadalcanal are close to being over-run and the US Navy is outnumbered by its Japanese counterpart. What follows is the most desperate period in the Pacific War, and a series of battles were vital to the outcome of the war. A must-see for fans of WW2 history. A docu-drama told in great, meticulous detail. Probably too dry for someone not interested in or familiar with military history, but great for those that are. The movie gives a great insight into the dynamics of the Guadalcanal campaign, how close the US was to losing it and Halsey's part in the victory. Not perfect though. There's no action scenes - even some stock footage of ships firing or planes in combat would have made the battles seem more real. While mostly very accurate, some liberties have been taken with history, e.g, the timing of the Battle of Cape Esperance vs the shooting down of Yamamato.

Jimmy's fine but this is plodding and dull.

Could have been a play. The sets were horrible. Very little filmed outside, so it came across as though it was done on a Hollywood back lot. Way back.

This movie is well done but as the description says it is a "docu-drama" and definitely not an action film. There are no depictions of battle. The film follows the strategies and decisions of Admiral William F. Halsey after he took over command of the South Pacific Forces when it was looking like the Japanese would prevail at Guadalcanal. It is strange at some points watching the Admiral sweat out his decisions as he waits for news from the battle front. I enjoyed the movie because of the insight it gave into the Navy's point of view at Guadalcanal. I watched "The Pacific" last year which detailed some of the Marines' experiences there and I caught some of the common references like "Washing Machine Charlie" the Japanese pilot whose nighttime attacks were meant more as a method of preventing sleep than to amass casualties.
