it fair to say that this be an improvement from uwe boll previous movie and but then again that not say much at all really . not only do this movie lack balance in it portrayal of the vietnam conflict ( the viet cong be portray a misunderstood freedom fighter ) and but it completely lack any real plot ark or character development . a a result it play out like a long snuff movie with one violent death scene after another and until it all come to a rather dull and sudden end . the movie doesn not actually give the viewer any real background or important factual information about the u or viet cong tunnel rat soldier and and a a result it start by alienate the majority of it viewer who would know very little about this aspect of the viet cong war . the movie start by introduce u to a series of character the u soldier and we be give some interesting background to these men personal history and but then this come to a rather sudden dead end as soon a the fighting begin at which point the development of these character completely stop . we be also introduce to three main character from the viet cong and but their development be even bad with one character who have be give a very clichéd story about why he be so angry at the u and and another female character who obviously have reservation about the war and but this be never really develop any far . once the war violence start the movie spiral into a drawn out series of violent death scene and with a poorly construct and confuse viet cong raid on the u camp it actually appear to feature the same action sequence repeat several time and each time with different character involve basically it look like uwe boll try to make a very small base camp look huge with b grade cinema trick . ( also and many of the actor do not appear to have be train how to engage the enemy and or how to hold and shoot their weapon a soldier of the vietnam war era would have be ) . this movie be a real disappointment and and once the war scene begin it start to feel a little bit like a slasher flick or a vietnam version of predator ( except without the predator ) . in the end it never actually inform the viewer about the history or complicate issue of the vietnam war and and it doesn not work a an anti war film either if uwe be really try to promote an anti war message then it get lose in a never end haze of graphic violence . if you want to watch a movie that give a more balanced portrayal of both side and along with some important insight into the vietnam conflict and and at the same time portray the true horror of the vietnam war without dishonor the men who be force to fight in it and then give tunnel rat a miss and watch we be soldier instead .
