i be expect a lot more of this film than what i actually get . the acting be just awful from everyone and the story be far from impressive . it take a lot of something i do not to even follow what be go because it be so jumpy . an example of the acting be when paxton character and vann and be upset the south vietnamese colonel for so he throw some of the sand from the sand map . it be impossible to get any idea of what he be feel and his action be robotic . to make thing bad and i have no idea how i be suppose to feel about vann . he obviously present a the protagonist but as soon a he get to vietnam he start an affair with an vietnamese english teacher . the only thing the movie have go for it be that it wasn not particularly boring . i give it 4 star out of 10 .
