In Vietnam, a squad of four African-American soldiers is deployed on a hazardous mission to rescue POWs from a remote jungle temple. Led by the fearless Sgt. Barkley (Joe Morton), the diverse group -- comprising impressionable young soldier Joe Brooks (Vonte Sweet), rebellious stoner Hoover Branche (Eddie Griffin), and bookish ideologue Cole Evans (Allen Payne) -- recount their personal experiences about how they ended up joining the Marine Corps.

Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly The zombie-horror-film title is the most dramatic feature of this meandering combat melodrama. Rated: D+ Aug 5, 2015 Full Review Emanuel Levy Variety Paying tribute to the black American combat soldier, this is an earnest, socially conscious film that is neither effective as an actioner nor as a personal drama. Rated: C Oct 31, 2006 Full Review Marc Savlov Austin Chronicle Rated: 2/5 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Scott Weinberg eFilmCritic.com An admirable attempt, but these soldier's stories could be told a whole lot better. Rated: 2/5 Apr 3, 2005 Full Review Philip Martin Arkansas Democrat-Gazette Rated: 2/5 Jul 29, 2002 Full Review James Berardinelli ReelViews Rated: 2.5/4 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Read all reviews

Chronos It was a nice pass time. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/19/22 Full Review Audience Member They had a cast that could have made it a decent film, but lackluster directing and poor acting made this inadequate mess almost unwatchable. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member it is amazing because it has cool make up Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Seriously, it f$@&ing sucked Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member This is one of the most idiotic war movies ever created. Marines on a Vietnam POW rescue mission ditty bopping through the jungle, smoking weed, and arguing the whole time. The writer and director should both be shot. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member This 1995 movie is a classic! This movie give you an insight on how African(black) people went through during the Vietnam War. What was interesting how the four marines told their sobering story on why they joined the marine core. Allen Payne, Eddie Griffin, Joe Morton and Vonte Sweet did an excellent job! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Read all reviews
