I personally have not watched it; but I do like to revisit war pics every now and then. This particular purchase is for my grandson ‘s teacher for teacher appreciation week. I also purchased a memoir of the survivors for her as well.

Failed to adequately identify the Communist leader Pol Pot’s (never mentioned his name?!) regime. A masked reference to this despicable despot and his Communist Chinese backed (Khmer Rogue)regime, that tortured and murdered millions of his native Cambodian people. This movie was disjointed (poorly directed)and did not represent its title......it focused mostly on the journalists and their self-congratulations. Acting was barely average at times. An all around disappointment!

The ugly side of man rears its head showing a side that belays the fact that animals are one step above on the ladder of decency, purpose, and fairness. Human life is displayed as being cheap. Humans killing other humans as if they were nothing more than defenseless insects. This film shows the lowest form of human dignity and decency when people with authority are greedy and want more and more authoritive power over others. There is a storyline plot lurking in the background and it is political if not daring. It is as if mankind in that part of the world has been held on the lease for so long that once broken of that lease destroys with demonic fury. This film depicts what humans can become at their worst and yet the film also depicts a lack of hopelessness and despair on the victoms.
Heartreaking, sobering true story of what happened in Cambodia in the mid-70's, about the relationships developed within the international press community, about the trials & struggles of one Cambodian medical doctor who worked toward saving his family, many others, and eventually himself. A hard look at how strong one's commitment to truth & survival can be.
This movie was purchased for my husband, who had several military movies taped on a beta machine. Since beta machines are way out dated and our machine doesn't play that well I thought this would be a wonderful way for him to start a new connection with movies on dvd's. He was surprised when this movie came and enjoys watching it. This movie has alot of action and most of the film is true to life for the time he was there in Vietnam. If someone really wants to know for the most part how it was in 1965 - 1966 over there and enjoys action/war films this would be the movie for them.
