I wanted to like this film, but it didn't hang together well, and the plot was a stretch from the beginning. I've never been to VietNam ('tho I've been to Canada). I think it's important that the reality of the horror of that war be told, and I applaud Spike Lee for tackling the task. But this struck me as a largely superficial characterization entirely dependent on a crazy amount of blood & gore to prop up a very dubious plot. Most Americans should see the insane horror of that war, but it's a story which flops as entertainment.
