An uneven Vietnam War Movie, but with some Shining Moments
Worth seeing
An interesting war film that is mostly overlooked by Full Metal Jacket fans. Stan Shaw gives a good performance that when I which makes me wonder we he hasn't had a bigger career.
This movie shares the soccer connection with the Caine/Stallone movie "Victory" (1981/I). I actually think the soccer scenes were better done in Company C.
Nonetheless this movie is an interesting choice which any war movie buff should not miss...
