Rating: Null/10 (16 May 2007)

Mike has a couple different reasons why he went back to Vietnam to get Nicki. At the beginning of the movie before they go to Vietnam Nicki makes Mike promise him that he will not leave him in Vietnam. In a way Nicki looked up to Mike, that is why he made him promise him that. In the scene when the three of them were trying to get onto the helicopter Nicki was the only one that made it on to it. Later when Mike is in Saigon, he finds Nicki who has met a french man that will pay him a lot of money to play Russian Rulet. A big fight breaks out and Mike cant find Nicki. Mike ends up going home and finding out that his other friend Steven is home and in a hospital, with no legs. Steven tells Mike that Nicki keeps sending him money and he finds out Nicki is still alive. He goes back to find Nicki, he goes to the same bar and he is there. Nicki has now gone crazy, and is addicted to Russian Rulet. Mike tries to get him to stop playing but he wont. Mike decides to play opposite Nicki, Mike shoots first and nothing happens then it is Nicki's turn, he shoots and he dies. Mike kept his promise and brought Nicki back even though he was dead.
