In the Vietnam War, doctor Don Jardian (Ken Wahl) fights to save his patients. He pushes to send his dying charge to a hospital. There he falls for surgical nurse Deborah Solomon (Cheryl Ladd).
My initial feeling about the opening battle is that this is an inferior film. The explosions aren't big enough. The filming isn't doing action well. The music is not right. Director Furie's 80's output are mostly B-movies. It feels more like a TV movie at first. Ken Wahl is a good B-actor and Cheryl Ladd is the same. Both are known more for their looks. That's not to say that this movie doesn't try. The relationship has some good chemistry even if it gets melodramatic. The war setting makes the melodrama fit. The action also picks up. By all rights, this should be a B-movie but it does try to rise above its station.
