complete drivel

Rating: Null/10 (8 March 2001)

Purports to be about the vietnam war, but it is justa selfindulgent mess. It's all over the shop, totally incoherent mess of a film. And it took about three years to make! It's a waste of money and talent. The plot is as thin as they come. There's a crazy soldier in the jungle, and martin sheen has to kill him. It takes him 2 1/2 hours to even find him! This film's popularity is basically because it is so violent and the bit with the helicopters. This is based on a short, 100 page book. Talk about inserting filler!! 3/10
