“While the acting and directing could be argued as having some merit – the storyline is a very poor wannabe Vietnam movie with the country name simply changed.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAt the very least, for a movie to hold some credibility, try and have some semblance of accuracy in equipment, weapons and tactics. Nevermind the gross misrepresentation of the behaviour of the troops as a norm.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAside for the limited use as silly propaganda about the South African Defence Force, it serves little purpose – definitely no entertainment value.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAspiring movie makers – this is how not to make a war movie. Do some research, and have some pride in your product.”
