This isn't, in terms of patriotism, as bad as Mel Gibson's "patriot", but it still far, far , far too patriotic movie for me.
Sure, I don't have anything against war movies. But I have something against flag waving, gun tooting patriotic scripts and this movie sure as heck has one. In that sense you might guess, that I don't like that many war movies. I do, but only those, which wont stuff patriotic ideals in to your face.
Well okay, Mel Gibson is this military superman, who does everything for his men. Yippiekayee. Then they go in Vietnam and they are surrounded by Vietcong's. And lot's of shooting, dying and crying housewife's are shown, when they get the message. Very sappy, emotional wannabe stuff here.
And Vietkongs running, but never shooting. Or missing their targets by a mile.
Oh yeah, some action looks good tough. Nothing wrong in that department.
Nothing special about this flick. Very standard stuff.
