Gross Flagwaver (spoilers)

Rating: 2/10 (5 March 2004)

I'm glad I saw this on pay TV, at least I never parted up with the readies at the movies. This load of crap is even worse than a John Wayne war movie. The Vietcong are (as usual in U.S. Movies) a gang of mindless pyschopaths. Let's face it so were the Native Americans in Wayne cowboy movies. All it lacked was the token Polack, Italian, African American etc spouting homilies about what they were defending. The Americans are pure and noble defenders of truth, justice etc etc. I shudder to think of what Gibson will do with Passion of Christ. Cliche count is high and violence is also over the top.As I watch these sort of movies I wind up cheering for the bad (?) guys. My advice is :Stay home or don't hire the video!!
