A gripping tale of love and honor forged between fierce enemies of war, this film tells the story, inspired by true events, of the bold and secret moves that won the peace in the shadows of post-war Japan.

 Kevin Carr crawled from the primordial ooze in the 1970s. He grew up watching movies to the point of irritation for his friends. He was a font of useless movie knowledge until he decided to put that knowledge to good use. He is now a professional film critic read worldwide, much to the chagrin of Michael Bay. As a proud member of the Online Film Critics Society, Kevin’s reviews are seen on the internet and in print in several states. While you can catch Kevin LIVE Thursday mornings with "Dan & Mike", you can also hear him each week on the Clear Channel radio networks around the country as a featured film reviewer.
