thiago S @Thiagostone Mar 7, 2026 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Aug 8, 2022 this movie really gets you into the American Spirit watching the military fight overseas for the little scene that does show awesome The love romance in this movie is just beyond I'm glad I got to see this movie and I think it's one of my top movies of 2022 Netflix is definitely put out a great movie See more s r @ScottR Apr 10, 2020 A poor soap opera production that could've been better. Synthesizer soundtrack. See more Nov 12, 2015 As a Marine Viet vet myself I found this movie to be total absolute crap. Not only was the correctness of Vietnam war wrong but the acting was total sophomoric. And as usual Lee Ermy as a supposed Viet himself was bullshit, which does not surprise me when it took him 9 years to make the rank of Sgt. in real life. this film had even less of truth about Marine Corps than Full Metal Jacket See more Nov 29, 2012 Harlequin Romance Novel meets Vietnam. About as appealing as a 3 week old leftover turkey. War , sex ,more sex .war He dies. she dies. Ooops! script rewrite .Sorry both survive without a scratch! Walk off into sun- literally!
