Very good. Another reviewer was ignorantly snickering about riding bicycles into war and changing tubes in tires....bicycles are fastest, most economical way fo conducting war when you're a small nation. The Dutch did was studies on this and that's why most of their troops also were bicycle troops. The germans and many others also. And remember, bicycles, a cowardly American president, the deep state and an incompetent military lost the Vietanam war while the VC were bicycling tons of ammo, food and mortars by bicycle, and they WON! A very short war, thankfully, and based on facts and truth, not like the fake American movie business where almost everything is a jingoist lie. And before you get mad at my review, I'm a Vietnam vet. I have a right to be mad, and to know good movies when I see them.
