9/10
One of the 5 greatest movies concerning the Vietnam War.
15 April 1999
Why waste your time with filth like Platoon, Full Metal Jacket, or The Siege of Firebase Gloria? Well, I have to admit, too, that those are all great films, but they don't live up to the excitement of Beyond the Call of Duty. Take all of the action of any Hollywood film and times that by two. That's how much action is here. Jan-Michael Vincent even guns down a chopper with an M-60. And that boat takes a beating! Explosions ripping left and right, Vietnamese soldiers flying in the air, squibs all over. You thought John Woo's films had a lot of squibs, think again. This has double that amount. I also love the ending when they must pass under a bridge. Cirio Santiago has created yet another classic. I not only recommend this one, but also check out his Field of Fire. It's even better!
