Doesn't age like a fine wine

Rating: Null/10 (20 February 2003)

Well, this was one of the most critically acclaimed films of the 70s, but really doesn't stand the test of time. The acting is good but the dialogue flat and the plot disjointed and VERY drawn out.
For a better VietNam film, try Apocalypse Now or Full Metal Jacket, for a better Christopher Walken film try The Dead Zone & for Robert DeNiro, try Taxi Driver or Godfather Pt 2.
Watching this really made me realise how far things have come, and even rubbish films these days use good foundation film-making.
