Critic Reviews

Jack Mathews

A strong, gritty, powerful piece of film making, and one of the three or four best movies made about the Vietnam era. Read full review

Lisa Schwarzbaum

An affecting, old fashioned, antiwar war story. Read full review

Kevin Thomas

Consistently fresh, engrossing and unpredictable. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Maitland McDonagh

The stripped-down production give a disturbing sense of immediacy to an otherwise fairly conventional story about boys being prepared for war. Read full review

Dana Stevens

Beneath the rough vérité exterior beats the same slick, corny heart. Read full review

Dennis Lim

In his first major role, the Irish actor Farrell deflects the script's more dubious aspects through sheer magnetic presence. Read full review

Manohla Dargis

Schumacher has gone into the cinematic heart of darkness and emerged with his own peculiar kink on the war movie: Vietnam beefcake. Read full review

This movie is seriously underrated.

I mean, what kind of a war-flick fan who would not love to watch a movie telling the story of a man doing everything he can so as to remain human while everybody around him is being forces to become killing machines without emotions… Expand

It's an interesting movie, but I really wanted to know what happens when they finally get to Tigerland and well, I was left disappointed. Otherwise it's good.

Decent antiwar film with some good performances and a gritty edge. Farrell is solid.
