Tommy Kirk gave an incredible performance as a character who was obviously based on Lieutenant William Calley, a man who was probably unfairly convicted for the My Lai massacre in a deliberate cover up by the US army. Kirk's facial expressions are excellent and he seems genuinely angry at times. It is such a shame he did not continue acting after the mid-1970s, although I don't blame him for changing careers after he was almost killed making a western. This exciting and thought-provoking film is one of the best I have ever seen, what a pity it is so little known.
Unlike the previous reviewer I did not think it was far-fetched when Gregory was invited to join the gang, as several members had intended to leave anyway and they were pleased when he successfully stood up to their unpopular leader.
