Rating:  - MASH with Blue Language and no Laughs, Good Writing nor Acting.
As soon as the movie started, I thought it was of those cheap made for TV movies that were cranked out in the 70's. Well it was not made for TV, but it certainly was cheap. I think the whole movie budget had to go to Lancaster, who by the way was given some the corniest, cheeseball lines in his career.
Battle scenes are sparse and look really cheap when they do occur. Not only are Lancaster's lines bad, the rest of the cast has nothing to work with either. Most lines are over acted ... Read More
Rating:  - Unrealistic Waste
I wasted good money on what I had read was a "good film". This is befitting of something that panders to stereotypes of the Vietnam war. The mid-1970s long haircuts, WWII vehicles, and over-acting detracted from what might have been a good film.

Rating: - FULLSCREEN release is not for the movie purist
I have watched this movie before on VHS. So when I saw that AMAZON had it on DVD I was delighted. However, then I noticed that it was released in FULLSCREEN. I would hope that the studios would re-release the movies in the aspect ratio that the movies were originally released in. I will not purchase any FULLSCREEN movies.
Rating: - Not the Best!
This is not one of Lancaster's best films. One of the things that kill it is the stereotypical Pro-Vietnam War propaganda that was common during that period. The depiction of the NVA and VC even borders on racism. Forget this one!
Rating: - OUTDATED FULLSCREEN FORMAT?
FILMED IN ASPECT RATIO 1:85 WIDESCREEN BUT RELEASED IN 1:33 FULLSCREEN WITH 1/3 OF THE SCENES CROPPED OFF FROM THE SIDES FOR WHAT REASON? FULLSCREEN WENT OUT WITH THE 20TH CENTURY THANK GOD! BUT THE OLD SCHOOL STUDIOS CAN'T SEEM TO LET IT GO?
LEONARDO DA VINCI'S 'LAST SUPPER' PAINTING WITH ONLY 6 DISCIPLES SHOWING INSTEAD OF 12 BECAUSE IT WOULD TAKE UP TO MUCH CANVAS, WOULD BE ACCEPTABLE TO THE STUDIOS AS LONG AS YOU CAN SEE JESUS IN THE MIDDLE!
BUYERS STOP PURCHASING THESE ... Read More
