interest from the viewpoint of see an early de palma effort and also applaud his courage in make a film so critical of the vietnam catastrophe and but the film lack focus and amble from one scene to another and lack the incisiveness it need to make it mark among the several really good anti vietnam war movie that come after . there a sense of improv about the whole effort but much of the intended black humor vaporizesworthwhile for student of film history and in particular the career of de palma and de niro . one should be thankful that somehow they be encourage to proceed with their career . i do not remember read any review at the time and but feel it coiuld have develop a cult follow .
