 compassion at its peak of human suffering January 11, 2010
Maxwell (South San Francisco, CA. United States)
I saw this movie way back when it first came out; I searched everywhere for it and found it. Dennis Quaid and Tamlyn Tomita portrayed the characters flawlessly showing a heart wrenching tale of love between interracial lines. A better understanding of what the japanese endured is touched upon. An unforgettable movie that touches your perspective in the human profiling system.

THIS IS A SLEEPER OF A GOOD MOVIE, WHICH TELLS THE STORY OF THE INJUSTICE THAT WAS DONE TO JAPANESE AMERICAN PEOPLE DURING WW2.
EXCELLENT PERFORMANCES BY ALL.A LOVE STORY THAT IS ALSO VERY
INFORMATIVE.
 Tomita saves a sinking ship... October 27, 2008

The message of this film is very important, and historically accurate.
But so much didn't work: Quaid's unresolved past and military service (going AWOL often and without punishment). His relationship with his cussing brother, his NYC movie union debacle. And why was there no mention of the 1.6 billion dollars paid in repairations at the movie's end?(Paid in 1998, this Film made in 1991).
Still, this movie tugs at the heart. Lost in all of this is the performance of one of the greatest unknown actresses our our time, Tamlyn Tomita. She is brilliant, and her talent is wasted opposite Quaid whose Irish accent appears and reappears. Sadly, guess who became famous?
Difficult to believe, but true April 9, 2008

This is the second time I see this film, so I was surprised by the dramatic reality of the Concentration Camps for Japanese in the USA the first time I saw it, not now. This time I was really captivated by how the whole human story and love story hurt, really hurt, and by a wonderful Dennis Quaid who I think played here maybe his best role as an actor.
Caught between two sides in a conflict November 9, 2007
Kevin Cooney (Jackson, TN USA)
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
This is an excellent movie about ordinary people who are caught between cultures in a time of war. This movie is a simple movie dealing with fear, prejudice, passion, and interracial relations in a time of conflict. It is a war movie about war on the homefront so don't expect any action scenes. It is one of my all time favorites.
