An honest movie

Rating: 7/10 (16 June 2002)

I would like to start with saying that i really liked this movie. It's more honest than other Mel Gibson movies I've seen like the patriot,(worthless piece of junk) and Braveheart (ok movie). It was honest in the way it described the things that caused the defeat in Vietnam. It's not as good as the classic "Apocalypse Now" but almost an equal to "Full Metall Jacket". It wouldn't have hurt with some more scenes showing the warcrimes committed by U.S.A.
But thats probably never going to happen so I can't complain. If you like war movies with lots of explosions and mass killing this movie is ideal for you. If you are like me and wants to see a movie with a good story, it's also a fairly good movie.
I'll give it 7/10
This mark could have been higher if Mel Gibson wouldn't have played the leading role. I don't really like him..
