A chilling, brilliant war drama

Rating: Null/10 (9 June 1999)

This film remains one of the only films I have ever seen that haunts me to this day. I saw it in theatres years ago, and was mesmerized. The tension dominates this film, and blends it with raw emotion in this devastating anti-war message.
It follows the training and services of a combat correspondent trapped in deadly Vietnam. The war is merciless and us almost a surrealistic deathtrap in which a turmoil of bodies are ensconced.
Nothing will free them. There is no turning back, no matter what the consequences. It has been brutal from the start. Where is there finish? Where will they find it?
This movie realistically brings out this finish through a climax nobody could ever forget. The sheer breathlessness you will experience is terrifying, but you will not regret it.
Nothing should restrain you from this film. Nothing will restrain you from remembering it.
