84 Charlie MoPic deserves a place by itself among the films about Vietnam.

A sharply observed drama about the Vietnam War, Patrick Sheane Duncan's indie, 84 Charlie mopic (title refers to motion picture), depicts in a realistic way the emergence of camardaerie among a reconnaissance squad from the POV of a cameraman.

An incredibly realistic Vietnam war movie, with unique found footage portrayal. Absolutely loved it, especially the writing and delivery of the characters lines during the interviews. A rare war movie featuring special forces that retains it's reality and grittiness.

One of the best POV films I've seen. It deserves it's own place amongst Vietnam war films. Universally praised by the real combat vets who experienced that war. It's a must watch.

12/1/16 You Tube This was a really good movie that did an outstanding job of making the viewer feel the tension, camaraderie, danger and fear encountered by ground troops at war. It also shows how quickly your life can end and how it must be tough to live with memories taken away. Only think keeping it from a higher rating is that the dialogue is pretty hokey and predictable.

This early entry into the found footage genre is ambitious but it doesn't really feel like they are under siege from the Vietcong.

Vähän erilainen Vietnam-elokuva. Hienosti kuvattu. Jännittävä. Tosin hieman ennalta-arvattava.
