Audience Member Watching again in 2025. It's a hard movie to get through as it's searing in content. It's actually not a 'war' movie, it's a story about awful humans doing awful things in the environment of a war. I loved it when I saw it= still thought it was fantastic. There are some squeamish idealized tropes which are somewhat nauseating but I can overlook that for the totality of the effort. Sure do like De Palma, one of my fav's for sure. A must have for any collector. Oh, and someone said best war movie ever= go watch Uncommon Valor with Hackman and say that. (F Apocalypse now, a cool movie but WAY over rated) Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/25/25 Full Review Lobo T Fox is a revelation as the mouse that roared, whilst the score, the direction, and the rest of the cast turn a risky film into a solid addition to the Nam canon. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/17/25 Full Review Gregory S It’s one of those movies that creates puts your stomach and keeps putting it. Then when you learn it is based on a documented true story, your heart is completely ripped out. It is a solid war movie, but a great movie about depravity and heroics. The cast is excellent and Depalma did a masterful Job with direction. Everything in the music is amazing. Truly underrated film as it’s more of an experience. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/22/25 Full Review Michael S This film has some deleted scenes that honestly should've been here but man, this film is so underrated. A very powerful & intense drama that really sticks with you. It's such a shame that no one talks about it. Fantastic cast and a great musical score by Ennio Morricone. Definitely one of those movies you only watch once. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/01/24 Full Review Alec C In the midst of conflict, everyone is capable of committing the most depraved actions! During the Vietnam War, a young cadet is assigned to a group of soldiers who kidnap an innocent Vietnamese girl for sick pleasure, so he attempts to court-martial the rapists without getting killed himself. Based on a true event that happened during one of America's bloodiest battles, we are forced to confront the fact of what we would during those circumstances! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/18/24 Full Review Michael W This war movie was great. Michael J. Fox, Sean Penn, Don Harvey, John C. Reilly, John Leguizamo, Ving Rhames, and the rest of the cast did a great job in this movie. The plot of the movie was dramatic, dark, and shocking. It's about witnessing a war crime and doing anything you can to make sure the men responsible suffer the consequences. If you haven't seen this movie yet, check it out sometime. It may be scary to watch at times, but it still turns out good in the end. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/10/23 Full Review Read all reviews
