100% COOL action, 20 July 2005
8/10
Author: sveknu from Bergen, Norway

This is a perfect action movie. It starts out straight into the action, and continues in the same style all the way through. I guess about 75% of the movie consists of pure action scenes, and that's very good. I guess more rounds of ammo from machine guns are fired in this movie than in the whole Vietnam war. I think they did a really good job with a budget I guess was low (and yes, the actors are totally unknown and bad, but that doesn't matter at all in a movie like this, trust me). The plot is also a good one, taking place in Vietnam. The Vietnamese army are portrayed to be bad to the bone. Of course it's not like that in real life, but it's totally OK to portray them this way since Vietnam is a communist country after all.
