tunnel rat and one the best vietnam film ever make . while people be always willing to back full metal jacket and platoon and apocalypse now and others and this film really hit the mark . this film do not leave you feel the need to throw out one liner with your friend over a couple of pint and it do not leave you believe they have some fun over in vietnam like in hamburger hill when they go to the local massage parlour and get lay and drink beer ( although hamburger hill do hit home ) and this film show exactly what fight that war be all about . fight an enemy you could not find and could certainly never beat . people have be shock by how the film be make and but how good to get a real picture of what actually happen out there . squeeze into a tunnel big enough for very small people and not be able to take proper defence with you and not be able to breath or move properly . this film be very much a political message and what a shame these film be not make earlier when the actual war be take place . maybe the anti war protester would have be more willing to give the war vet the credit they deserve for be draft and make to do what it be they do . this film command respect and no matter how awful the portrayal of killing be and or how awful the darkness of the film be and this be a complete truth of what be happen . american bomb their own at the end of the movie and reminiscent of hamburger hill and that film be acclaim . my heart go out to the people who fight in that war and the survivor and the dead . they fight because government can not simply learn to live with their difference and or they can not just sit down and decide to have a poker game instead . no and they gamble with other people life and this lead to creative minded people like uwe and who see a tort and do something about it and make film that show true depiction of what really happen no matter how bloody . in a couple of year there will be more film like this about the war on terror because g w want to line the pocket of his suit at the expense of young men and woman because he can not tolerate other country disagree with him . well do uwe and this film open the mind and show how ugly war truly be . throw on some box glove government leader and or go fight the war yourselves .
