From early on in this film, you got the feeling that this was destined to fall into the love story between Willem Dafoe and the cute nun.
Colourful indeed!
Dafoe and his partner Gregory Hinds are investigating murders of prostitutes in Saigon, who have all been killed by an American GI. It's their job to find which one.
Competently scripted, reasonably directed and acted, this is another in the line of harmless enough Vietnam films of the time, that are neither particularly good nor particularly bad.
