A pretty slow moving film. I'm not sure how well the characters were developed. Looks like they were chopped together, tossed in at unpredictable times.
The first half of the movie was prettier in the first half, visually.
The scenes in Vietnam were interesting. Less stupid shit and more of just terror and fear. It made war look terrible. But the scenes in the city seemed less interesting. I mean, I guess there was a blue filter for so much of the movie. Things looked kinda dull.
But yeah, there were plenty of surprises in the plot. It managed to avoid quite a few of the tropes that I thought it was leading into.
This was an interesting take on the African American's role in the the Vietnam war and its aftermath. It made me realize how Deer Hunter, Platoon, Rambo, and others are all about white people.
