Quotes

Booker: And so as history slowly places it into some kind of perspective, a few things about the Vietnam War have become clear. It was a war that never should have begun, and a country we never should have entered. And as thousands of victims died without really understanding why. Mainly because the reasons for the war were beyond any rules of logic. On Wednesday we'll sing patriotic songs and pretend I said none of the above.

not a bad movie

its not that bad of a movie, i dont know why everyone is knocking it on here. its a stereotypical chuck norris film where he kicks a bunch of guys asses, although i would have liked to see more fighting. its worth renting if you are bored, but it can wait
