Anyone who fought in Vietnam can tell you that the war bore little resemblance to this propagandistic action film starring and codirected by John Wayne. But the film itself is not nearly as bad as its reputation would suggest; critics roasted its gung-ho politics while ignoring its merits as an exciting (if rather conventional and idealistic) war movie. Some notorious mistakes were made--in the final shot, the sun sets in the east!--and it's an awkward attempt to graft WWII heroics onto the Vietnam experience. But as the Duke's attempt to acknowledge the men who were fighting and dying overseas, it's a rousing film in which Wayne commands a regiment on a mission to kidnap a Viet Cong general. David Janssen plays a journalist who learns to understand Wayne's commitment to battling Communism, and Jim Hutton (Timothy's dad) plays an ill-fated soldier who adopts a Vietnamese orphan. <I>--Jeff Shannon</I> *Viewer Reviews* It seems like the only movies you'll see about Vietnam these, are made by anti-American leftists. (Except Mel Gibson) This movie is different in that you do get a different perspective of that war, which is rarely shown from Hollywood these days. I wish we could go back to the days when Hollywood supported the military, the way this movie does. The thing that bothers me most about the Vietnam war is that we could have won it. North Vietnamese Generals, have admitted as such in documentaries. But widespread treason was committed by our left-wing media, and the leftist Hollywood types. Which I believe helped turn some Americans against the war. So we ended up losing the PR war. Allot of good people died in Vietnam. We should have honored their service by winning that war, rather than spitting on them when they came home. If anything, this movie reminds us not to ever let that mistake be repeated. I'll take this movie over anything Oliver Stone ever made... 5 stars. Back To Top
