Hope never dies June 15, 2005 A. McAleer (Seattle) 5 out of 6 found this review helpful
If you liked Uncommon Valor, you'll like this one better. Jane Fonda should have been in this film. (In her Barbarella attire). Shame Jane Shame.
Why Isn't This on DVD? March 20, 2007 M. Harris (New York City, USA) 4 out of 5 found this review helpful
Although not perfect, this remains one of the most powerful films about the Vietnam War ever made, and unlike most postwar movies, it provides an unflinching look at the evil of the North Vietnamese and their Soviet (and other Communist bloc) allies, which may be why it's not out on DVD. When you think of all of the mindlessly fawning portrayals of the monsters of the left (Che Guevara comes to mind in the Motorcycle Diaries, or John Reed, in Reds), is it too much to ask that a movie that shows the other side of them (the side that butchered 100 million people over the course of the last century) be made available?
God came here September 28, 2007 I. Walden (Germantown. Md) 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
This is a testament of everything that is good, great, heroic, of our country and God. These POW's are saints and patriots. I am proud to call them my inspiration. GBU, flyer!
Politics? September 6, 2008 Richard J. Drake 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I remember watching this film when it first came out about 20 years ago. It was a powerful film about a group of people who have never really been honored for the sacrifices they endured for their country. The political agenda driving Hollywood made it into a small film that not many people got a chance to see. It seems like nothing much has changed in 20 years. Why is this film only going to be made available on November 11th? Does it have anything to do with the fact that there is an election going to happen in this country the week previous to that? Perhaps the powers that be don't want Americans to see a powerful representation of the experiences of one of the candidates. Especially if that candidate is the one that Hollywood has aligned itself against. I find it hard to believe that there is no stock of this product anywhere that can be tapped before November 11th. Way to go Amazon.
so many movies like this July 15, 2004 1 out of 36 found this review helpful
there are so many movies like this....movies which showed the american hardships during the war. every movie blames the vietnamese as being evil. particularly this one. in every war....there are people who suffer.....and people who do the suffering. vietnamese people suffered in the war too...even more so than the americans. every vietnamese was affected with the war. lets not forget the my lai massacre and countless other incidents. both sides were to blame...not just the vietnamese. and because of that i dont give this movie a high rating.
