With so many Vietnam movies being done in the 80's, "84c MoPic" had to do something to differentiate itself. In that respect this movie was done POV style which was rare if it was done at all. I can't recall a movie as early as 1989 being done POV style though it would become very popular ten years later with "Blair Witch Project."
"84c MoPic" follows a small band of soldiers navigating the brush of Vietnam. Their mission is not entirely clear, but one thing is clear: they want to survive. They're led by OD (Richard Brooks). He's as tough as they come and precisely what the group needs to stay alive. MoPic (Byron Thames), short for motion picture, is the cameraman there to capture everything. It's really about the various personalities that one could see in Vietnam more than the tactical aspect of it.
But this is a movie about the Vietnam War so it wouldn't be complete without firefights and deaths. The firefights are brief but fatal and by movie's end you will be saddened.
