A good Vietnam war movie was Platoon, another one was. Full Metal Jacket and then another one was Hamburger Hill. Those were just a very FEW of good movies about Vietnam. THIS movie is NOT a good movie about the Vietnam war.
Setting aside the "racial conflict" of Black man good, White man evil, let's get into a few things that really stood out.
Firstly, I honestly don't believe that ALL the soldiers in Vietnam went around killing Vietnamese civilians as if it were some kind of Purge and that is what they want you to believe with this movie.
Secondly, did anyone even bother speaking to somebody about the tactics and strategies used in that war? Viet Cong walking toward an enemy with NO cover and firing their weapons until they get killed is foolish. I've seen my 3 year old grandson do better with his toy soldiers. For the record, the VC would do a quick attack and then pull back and vanish.
This movie is a slap in the face to ALL Vietnam Veterans and isn't worth the storage medium it's saved on. Please avoid it because I guarantee you will lose IQ points.
