"A slight thumb up. It is Platoon light. Which is not bad I enjoyed that this film wasn’t a copy cat of the other movies coming out at that time. This took a never tackled issue of how war makes the soldiers into monsters. How they after so much stress and frustration begin to devalue and dehumanize the “Enemy” . "
"This movie was upsetting and heavy, but I was surprised to see this issue being tackled back in 1989. All of the men sentenced were released between 2 to 4 years later. Not much has changed, given that this movie is thirty some years old. "

"hated hated hated it. i’m giving it two stars because it wasn’t a “bad” movie. it was just unbearably intolerable. i hated every second of it and couldn’t wait for it to end. by nature it’s an intense war movie, and i don’t do war movies. definitely don’t start with this one cuz it’s got some horrific rape scenes that i wish i could unwatch.
