not really fair to call this a troma film because troma buy the right to distribute this low budget film but have nothing to do with it creation . it be already complete when troma buy the right to it . troma movie be gleefully bad and in fact and class of nukem high be the bad movie that i have ever see and i have see many bad movie . combat shock be both a disturbing and boring and awful movie and a gritty and ultra realistic and shocking movie about the difficulty many vietnam vet have get job and fit back into society . though it be slow paced and i have difficulty take my eye off of it . it be rare to see cinema so stark and grim . the subject be dealt with in movie like first blood and the dead president but these and like many other movie be very sensationalistic unlike real life . combat shock be down to earth and show the realistic effect of living in poverty and squallor in a drug ridden neighborhood . i give it a positive . i find the lead character to be a sympathetic and likeable character trap in a hell on earth that seem inescapable . if you think you have problem and it hard to imagine that they might be bad .
