Some Americans on here with a sensible political point of view not commie bashing to the last! you could say this film is ironic because in being such a patriotic film it shows up exactly what the rest of the world dislikes about America (or some parts of its culture). The arrogance and self loving of the film is incredibly sickly and the attempt to commemorate the vietnamese soldiers (which was brave) is very under cut and you still walk out the cinemas thinking they were the bad guys, though really they weren't. Some good battle seens to make it a half watchable film but it does begin to drag towards the end, possibly not as well paced as it could of been. Lets have another good Vietnam film, even better one from the vietnamese point of view maybe even split it in half with an American point of view but either way something that shows the truth of war and the politics behind this one.
