Randy Ryan plays an army corporal thrust into the command of a disintegrating tank platoon hopelessly lost behind enemy lines during the Korean War.
"The Forgotten" is an amazing achievement for a low-budget, independent feature. Real tanks and weaponry lend an air of authenticity to the proceedings which are further enhanced by a good cast and an intelligent, thoughtful script. In all honesty, I found this film much more satisfying than Terrence Malick's bloated, but similarly-themed, version of "The Thin Red Line." And director Vincente Stasolla managed to pull it off on probably 1/100th of the budget. I look forward to seeing more from him!
