 **Excellent!** August 4, 1999
2 out of 4 found this review helpful
Not only was it exciting, it had everything to do with the fighting part of the war. It was a bunch of flashbacks, which in my opinion, are the best kind of movies; but these flashbacks had absolutely everything to do with the war... it dealt with the men's lives way before they entered the war and I felt it was really interesting! Even my dad, who was in the war, was turned by the movie and later he walked away.
STILL A GREAT MOVIE August 22, 2001

This movie was better than good, it was the most requested video that hit stores and video clubs during the winter it was released. Unfortunately for them this movie was confused with Sean Penn's Dead Man Walking and it lost out on recognition and money. I hope we come up with better ways to package items, because once you take the plastic off--it's yours! More importantly, please read packaging carefully, if you don't recognize the stars call the video club or store back and make sure it's what you really wanted.
Best Movie ever March 6, 2000

This is a very realistic portrayal of an "unwinnable"war. My dad is a Vietnam vet and the stories he tells parallel whathappens in the movie.
 Griffin's perfomance was under estimated March 22, 1999
I think that this movie is the most real view on why blacks joined the corp, and I think that Eddi Griffin's comical pesonality is what the director had in mind to show how cold hearted you had to be to get through the war.
 Worst movie ever made!! March 2, 1999

Not only was this a terrible movie but it had absolutely nothing to do with the war itself. I don't think that there really was a point to making this movie... the whole thing was a flashback, and in my opinion, those are the worst kinds of movies!!! Aside from the fact that it was a terribly written and poorly perfomed film, the "two-minute" war scene that they decided to include, was extremely cheesy and unrealistic. My dad is a Vietnam Vet and even he turned the movie off! so I would definately advise everyone NOT to rent/buy The Walking Dead. Isn't it a shame that the title is better then the movie itself!! if you want to see a Real War movie, rent Tour of Duty (which I Highly recommend, it was a TV show back in 1988), Platoon, Platoon Leader, or Hamburger Hill.
