Have you read Left for Dead? - Reviewed on 2008-09-14

I teach the non-fiction novel LEFT FOR DEAD to ninth graders, and this film is a gem! It is a re-enactment of the sinking of the USS Indianapolis. The movie focuses on the ship's captain, McVay. I use this film to give my students a visual perspective for when they read the non-fiction book. They enjoy the film.

I thought this movie had a good story line,
But ever since JAWS I wait for the person to
go under water then come back up being dragged
around by the shark.
I guess I've watched JAWS to much.LOL
The best movie/documentary I've seen since JAWS is
BLUE WATER/WHITE DEATH.
These movies aren't for the weak hearted.
I thought it could have had better attack scenes
from the sharks.
I rate this DVD a 7 from 1to10!!

This made for TV movie sucked, Richard Thomas and Stacy Keach were horrible, I've seen high school plays that were better. Sorry.

Good story about the not-so-talked about military return trip of the USS Indianapolis. This was a secret mission so maybe that is why. But it is also the worst military desaster of WW II.

Watch this then see the special on Discovery Channel with interviews from actual survivors.
