This is the first David A. Prior movie I have ever seen, and although I really wasn't expecting much, I have to say that I was disappointed. Based on the title, and what I know about the director from reviews I've read on this sight, I was expecting an entertaining, violent, stupid low-budgeter. This is what I got, minus the entertainment.
This movie, which focuses on a training mission in Vietnam that unexpectedly succumbs to an enemy ambush, is really just a bunch of tediously repetitive bare-knuckle fights and shoot outs mixed with a little bit of clichéd, banal war movie dialogue. I was really disappointed to find that most of the movie's dialogue is too boring to be unintentionally funny, and the and the action is to repetitive to be entertaining at all.
The only part of the movie that that was the least bit interesting is one really weird scene in which we see the movie's two main heroes(Fritz Mathews and Ted Prior) heading off on their mission and hear William Smith's narration in the form of what sounds like some kind kind of bizarre poem. I couldn't help but smile while listening to Smith's odd, cornball commentary.
Overall, this is a stupid and often boring film recommended only for David A. Prior aficionados and die-hard fans of the B action movie genre.
