Stupid cliche-ridden film

Rating: 1/10 (10 April 2002)

My God, how many cliches about war (and war movies) can you pile up in one film? A lot it seems. There's not a single line of dialogue or sequence in the script that isn't a rehash of far better movies, the dialogue mostly consists of overblown, patriotic rubbish, the wives that stay at home are portrayed idiotic. And the Vietcong have little sequences that are supposed to show them as "being humans too", after which they get massacred by the thousands by the brave American soldiers. And apart from the fact that it's a very bad movie in itself, it's also another bad movie that tries to simplify and rewrite history in a very ugly way.
