This movie was crap!


I watched this movie on cinemax a few months, and I laughed at the film's stupidity. Ridiculous fantasies, absurd running and shooting scenes, terrible acting. For me this was more conservative frustration unable to cope with the fact that the USA was defeated in Vietnam, like Rambo 2 and the Missing in Action films. The post 9/11 cartoons about killing Bin Laden bore the same mentality. As far as I know, the only one in this movie to serve in Vietnam was Tim Thomerson, and all he did in Vietnam was ask U.S soldiers whether they wanted their steaks medium rare or well done; he was just a cook. Funny to see him as a military man. Gene Hackman, must've either been bored or wanted a few extra bucks. I recently asked an acquantance of mine who's a Vietnam veteran what he thought of Uncommon Valor, Rambo 2 or the Missing in Action. He replied, "We would've really loved to have seen them try all that *beep*

The most hilarious part was when Hackman said "some of them will have forgotten how to speak English".
Yes it's not a particularly good film, the cast are fun, the story is interesting but the script and the execution is dire.
