...the movie's almost-tolerable atmosphere is due primarily to Furie's handling of certain admittedly engaging sequences... Go to Full Review

08/08/2022 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 04/10/2020 A poor soap opera production that could've been better. Synthesizer soundtrack. See more 11/12/2015 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 11/29/2012 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! See more 01/30/2009 I love it! It's got some beautiful people in a beautiful love story in an ugly war See more 11/20/2008 yeah,yeah i know im such an old fashioned person but who cares?i saw this twice in cinemax and i fell in love with the story =) See more Read all reviews
