Just wish they would have shown how Jack and the other soldiers got caught by the Vietnamese. The way it went from showing Jack meeting up with his mates to them being held prisoners just took me out of the movie a little bit and made me question what the director was thinking with that decision. Anyone else find that weird?

How would they fit that into the movie, someone explaining it? You have to draw your own conclusions sometimes.

I watched it for the first time today, and also felt that it was too abrupt.
I guess that's what Cimino was going for, but...
