  The worst Vietnam movie ever made?
  
  The movie is plotless - they basically just die one by one in various camp and predictable ways; not even an attempt to develop the characters, and acting is ... read more »

  Tedious - Skip it
  
  Tedious - a 10 minute scene, without cuts, of a man digging - isn't what I expected. Such a potentially dramatic scenario - wasted,

  I thought it couldn't be all that bad - it was worse.
  
  Terrible.
  
  No discernable plot. No attempt at characterisation. No historical interest. I thought it couldn't be all that bad - it was.

  The poorest Vietnam conflict based film I've ever seen.

  Tense, slow-paced war film. Apparently, this kind of thing isn't everybody's cup of tea. Ah well. The action isn't exactly boomtastic, but the gore ... read more »

  Very dark and more than a little creepy
  
  Not a bad effort. There are no epic battle sequences or big explosions like there is in such films as Platoon or We Were Soldiers. It explores the more ... read more »
