04/05/2020 ..It's good enough to recommend as a (sometimes riveting) military war crimes trial - somewhat like "A few Good Men" except that Jack Nicholson played the part of a tough as nails Marine career officer whereas Don Johnson fought in a war where most US soldiers were NOT career soldiers , but were drafted to fight a bloody murderous war most of them would never have signed up for....Bad things happened in Viet- Nam for sure but this war crimes trial (with Don Johnson as the accused Lieutenant does some pretty impressive acting here , but at the end , his selfless attempt to save the members of his platoon from war crimes punishment rings a bit hollow for me ....His wanting to sacrifice himself for the sake of his platoon's misconduct in a stressful situation gives this courtroom drama a marshmallow ending (in my humble opinion)...Perhaps the novel that preceded the film is to blame....I never read the book... See more 02/02/2010 Good... but I have a feeling the book is much better. See more 02/01/2010 i think . LT. TYSON took the bum wrap. his men knocked him out therefor he could and should not have been healt responcible for thier actions Don you done a wonderful job of portraying LT.TYSON!! ~Heather Frisby See more 01/18/2009 just watched it on hallmark channel on tv... awesome movie.. about ben tyson a successful happily married military pers0nal, until accusations of vietnam war crimes emerge and threaten to destroy his life.. court drama.. See more 10/25/2008 I thought it was a B-movie but reading the reviews I discovered it was a tv movie. It made it event better than I thought. Good one going the same way as General's daughter and Rules of engagement. See more 10/10/2008 If you have a bad day, it is okay to kill a few dozens of women and children. See more Read all reviews
