 Excellent down to earth movie December 9, 1999
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
This is one of the most underrated movies in war movie history. The acting may be shabby but the action scenes are well done. Platoon Leader is down to earth and straight to the point, war is hell but this is worse. This movie is a classic.
 Terrible! August 1, 2001

This movie is plain bloody hopeless! The movie doesn't even have a bloody storyline! This movie is just too bloody violent! So i would bloody well not recommend this to anyone!P.S Sorry about the language

Though I wouldn't consider this to the greatest Vietnam film I've ever seen (which to me would be Platoon) I wouldn't consider it to be the worst. This film actually goes some way to realistically portray a U.S platoon, where as many films just centre on a crazy one man killing machine. The characters actually are shown to vulnerable, even the hero of the Story. The only thing that lets this film down in my eyes is the obvious shoe string budget and also a few innacuracies. The budget limitations saw them use a crude mock up of an M79 Grenade Launcher and also contrary to what someone else put a very poor helicoptor assault scene that looks like something straight out of Thunderbirds. Also the soldiers were using 30 round magazines (which only ever appeared at the end of the war and were not issued to standard US army troops) instead of 20 round ones. Its only a small point but I'd have thought thats why they employed a military advisor, to make sure things like this were correct.
Were you in Vietnam? No DVD yet? April 5, 2007

Some noncomplimentary reviews have been written here by people who, from what I conclude after reading their comments, did not actually serve in Vietnam. I did serve with the USMC around the DaNang area in 1969-70. After seeing most of the Vietnam war movies, I feel that this movie is the most realistic of how it really was over there. Why is there still no DVD of this movie?
basicly about the life of a platoon in veitnam June 8, 1999
