The Deer Hunter

Rating: 7/10 (18 December 2008)

Mike goes back to Vietnam to find Nicky because earlier in the movie, before the two went off to war, Mike promised Nicky that he would not leave him behind. Mike is a man of his word and likes to get things done the right way. Take for example, when all the buddies went deer hunting Stan left all of his gear behind and asked Mike if he could borrow his. He said no, and attempted to teach the rest of his friends that they need to be prepared to go through tough situations on their own. But since his friend was actually in trouble and the fact that he promised Nicky that he wouldn't leave him there are the reasons why he went back to find him.
