An underrated tour de force

Rating: 8/10 (20 March 2001)

One of Brian De Palma's better films of late..this late 80s drams stars Michael J Fox as a soldier who turns in his fellow soldiers after they pick up a female prisoner and make some bad choices.. The film is basically a morality tale..how that even in war one must maintain dignity and respect toward non soldiers.. a powerful film with good acting by Fox and Sean Penn as his commanding officer. One of the better but basically unknown films about Vietnam
On a scale of one to ten..8
