Uwe throws a new spin on Viet Nam with a low budget but a fun plot vehicle
8 July 2009
I've seen a lot of 'Nam flicks but I can't really remember one that covered the tunnel rats so well and in such detail. The acting is a bit uneven and the budget is obviously very low, however if you overlook this and simply enjoy a new twist on a Viet Nam tale this winds up coming out OK and watchable. I enjoyed the tunnel scenes the most, the feeling of claustrophobia and some interesting booby traps. With a bigger budget you could really flesh this movie out but instead we get the bare bones and those aren't bad either. Not anywhere on the same level as Platoon or Apocalypse Now or Full Metal Jacket, but it can be fun watch if you are in the mood for something different with the occasional decent gore scene. Some of the actors need to be slapped for calling themselves actors in this movie, but overall there were several decent moments.

PLOT: the underground maze of tunnels in Viet Nam is the monster in this movie.. our boys are trying to beat it.. but the tunnels are hungry.. down they go, but do they get to make it back up to the daylight and get back home? Several perils await as the men get split up and picked off by the Viet Cong.
