Nicely done but nothing we haven't seen before.

Rating: 4/10 (26 July 2002)

It feels like this film has been made before. We have seen MANY Vietnam-movies. This one does not add anything new to the ones already made. This one should be added to the Good special effects and bad movie-section. This movie drowns in music exactly as many other Hollywood-productions does. It feels like military propaganda from the USA. Mel Gibson could play this role in his sleep and in fact he does in some scenes. The moral of this movie is that you have to give up everything for your country. Nothing wrong about that but they could have done it with a better story. Perhaps a better way to spend your time is to see Full Metal Jacket again.
