My wife found this movie at the county library and wanted me to watch it with her. Now, I knew that it had two of my favorite actors in it, Bruce Dern and Jon Voight but it also had my least favorite actress in it, which is of course Jane Fonda. Well, I decided to give it a shot and I regretted every minute of it. I lost an uncle in Vietnam in 1968 and my hometown of 2000 lost around 20 young men in the war. The movie starts off pretty good but it loses ground very quickly. Basiclly, it shows returning vets as physical cripples or mental cripples. Both views are wrong but is to be expected if Jane Fonda was involved. In short, this movie is just a bag of anti-war propaganda, no more and no less. If you want to see a movie about Vietnam, watch Hamburger Hill or Gardens of Stone. Both are excellent.
