WE are the problem." Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Interesting HBO movie based on the experiences of John Vann soldier, and military advisor, during the Vietnam conflict. A revealing story of cover-ups, and mistakes that are ultimately revealed about all wars. Decently done. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member I didn't like the film too much because I'm kind of anti-war and this film does glorify war... which it shouldn't. However, the lead actor was good and this helped the film along. I didn't know anything about the Vietnam war, and this film was as informative as it was entertaining. More films should be like it in that way. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member For a movie about war, it's really boring. Bill paxton gives a good performance, as does the majority of the cast but this isn't a very outstanding film merely a merdiocre one. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member The book was better, lame and trite as that is but fuck you as no one has actually seen this movie, despite bill paxton, who is decent but obviously just worked on this for under a month for a decent paycheck. He gapes and gaws, but ultimately we're left with something that obviously subscribes to a single view of the Vietnam War while paying lip service to the Vann's view in a whole WHO CAN SAY OBVIOUSLY NOT THE SCRIPT WRITER FURP FURP Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
