Viewing Notes
A thoroughly unenjoyable WWII war movie with terrible voiceovers by the actors during combat scenes and some truly awful flashbacks to family life back home; all spliced together with what at the time were probably considered pretty realistic action sequences.
It’s very obvious this is a movie made during (and really, about) the VietNam war era and it carries a lot of political baggage around because of it.
Definitely didn’t age well. I can’t recommend anyone watching this. It’s not even bad in a good way.
