Rating: 7/10 (1 June 2010)

The reason why Mike goes back to Vietnam to find Nick--- Mike goes back into Vietnam to find Nick is for one main. On the night of the wedding, Mike runs naked through the streets while Nick chases him down. Mike finally becomes exhausted and stops at a local basketball court, there he lays down against the net's base and looks at the stairs. Nick catches up to Mike and joins him against the net's base. As they begin to finally talk, Nick begs Mike to not leave him over there, in Vietnam, if anything were to happen to him. Mike, as a good friend, promises Nick this. Mike protects Nick in time of despair throughout the movie. Mike saved Nick from being a POW and got him to US Forces after, however they are unable to join up and Mike has no idea if Nick is still in Vietnam or back in the States. Later, Mike spots Nick at a Russian Roulette game, and rushes through the crowd to meet up with Nick. This is unsuccessful as a wealthy French business man escorts Nick out and drives away. Mike goes back to America, without Nick, and feels like he failed his friend because Nick is not there with them and Nick is thought of as AWOL and could be dead. Not wanting to be a failure to his friend and to covet the promise, Mike goes back into Vietnam to find Nick.
