A look at the bottom of the page shows similar movies in genre to this one. Apocalypse Now, All Quiet On The Western Front, The Thin Red Line, Tears Of The Sun & Cross Of Iron are all classic war movies & how this one could even show its face on the same page is a mortal sin. I bought this DVD thinking I was in for a treat & whoever this Tom Konrad guy from Independent Film Quarterly is, who wrote 'A gritty tale of war-torn valor & action set in Vietnam's heart of darkness', what a load of rubbish! I visited their website in order to read Tom Konrads review but couldn't find it. If he has seen the movie & wrote that then he needs to seek other employment. This movie in my humble opinion (and quite a few others by the look of things) is a sham & should never have seen the light of day. A look at the voting pattern as I write this is rather suspicious. On counting the names associated with this movie (note I don't say ACTORS), it adds up to 23. Now 21 people have given this 10 out of 10 & 3 people have given it an 8. I wonder who has been giving it 10. Be honest Joe Black! Undo all those 10's you & your buddies have given this & you are facing the deserved title of worse movie of all time! 53 out of 89 people give this only 1 out of 10 & if there was a zero button I would be pushing that one. So what about the picture itself? What picture? Here we have a bunch of the worse actors in history gathered in a field with a guy who doesn't know how to use a camera, with no script & whatever footage they managed to capture in a few hours was glued together & the outcome is 'When Soldiers Cry'. If I could sue you for selling goods under false pretences I would but I will in fact keep this disaster because I know this will sink to the bottom of the worse 100 movies of all time list & when my movie club friends call round & we discuss what we have seen, I can dig this one out & show them the first 2 minutes (that's all is needed) thus stopping them & everyone they know from being ripped off like I was. Shame On You Joe Black! My advice to you is watch some proper war movies & get rid of that camera. I hear McDonalds are looking for someone to wear the Ronald suit, Go For It!
