Is it right to do wrong in the jungle?

Rating: 6/10 (30 May 2000)

Director Brian De Palma once again walks the thin line. He creates a war drama that gets darker as it sinks into depravity. During the war in Vietnam; a squad of five men kidnap a young girl from her village, rape and kill her. One of the men, played by Michael J. Fox, does not take part, thus bucking his fearless squad leader, played by Sean Penn.
This will leave you frustrated, disappointed and ashamed that this sort of thing was considered by some as just another part of war. Fox seems like a fish out of water; but he conveys all that is right in this film. Penn actually turns in one of his best screen performances, even if at times he over acts.
Others in the cast are John Leguizamo, Ving Rhames, Don Harvey and Thuy Thu Le.
