While it may not be the first war movie shot from a first-person
camera perspective, it's certainly the first and only one I've seen
and I like the whole Mo Pic documentary feel of the film. I don't
think this is a great movie or a great war movie, but it sure is
interesting and I like to watch it every now and then. From my
understanding of Vietnam and the military though, certain things
were highly unrealistic in terms of what characters say, but it's
easy to get past that. The plot moves right along and this movie is
NOT predictable. It's a smart low-budget (I'd assume) movie that
achieves what it sets out to achieve; a definite must-see for any
war film fans.
