3/10
Overburdened with cliches, inaccuracies and poor writing

I like Aaron Eackhart but I think he was on board just to secure financing. He plays a general that phones out orders as much as he phoned in this role.

The premise was to find a secret document containing names of Vietnamese assisting Americans and had a few enlisted men, supposedly special forces as stated on shoulder patches, given a ridiculous two hours to scour underground tunnels of the NVA for it. A Colonel leads the above ground search wearing full insignias and bright silver full bird colonel rank insignias on each collar, which was not done because it gives snipers instant recognition of officer targets. Officers scream commands at enlisted when in reality there was tremendous respect between them and especially because these were supposed to be army special forces.

Aaron Eackhart's character seals the ending saying of those killed "their blood is in the earth, they shall live forever." I cannot believe such a trivial statement would ever be made.

I wasted $6.99 on this do not follow my lead...
