“Nick Nolte stars as the enigmatic hero of this little-known but highly interesting film. Basically at war with himself, Nolte evolves from Army deserter to a genuine jungle king.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eHeu0026#39;s an interesting actor, and never more so than in this movie, which is set in Borneo during World War II. It might just as easily been set in a Montagnard village during the Vietnam War.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis off-beat, under-rated movie is more of a psychological study than a mindless, run-of-the-mill action flick. This movie has a lot more depth and heart than that.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe locations are beautiful, the musical score is outstanding, and, as in most John Milius films, the uniforms, weapons, and other goodies are faithfully and accurately depicted with wonderful detail.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis is a thinking manu0026#39;s u0026quot;war movieu0026quot;. If you enjoyed u0026quot;The Man Who Would Be Kingu0026quot;, you will very likely enjoy this film, too.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIf you can find it on video, snap it up fast!”
