Rape with a pistol. Glass slicing open a jugular vein. Exploding death by missile from 60 feet away. Obnoxious reporter. Tortured hero. Vile bad guy. Ambivalent two-toned guy who dies at the end of act one. Fire fire fire. An American military officer with a dark sense of humor (Fred Dryer) -- "The guy was five foot four in reality. Tough ba****d," Fred says at one point. Imagine this from a guy a six seven. He sold the admiration though. Where was I... Faces from a John Ford movie in the Red Cross camp. A kid so dirty the lice jump off the screen. An amazingly good performance from the son of the two-toned leader. A little cheese around the edges. Not enough extras. Not enough wide shots. But plenty of blood flying. Bizarre choppers. Cool locations. ******
