TaryBiggBall It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
Michelle Ridley The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity
Cheryl A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
mark manchester All the Reviews are correct its a very poor movie I've seen better low budget movies than this , although its a sad story based on real events that took place during the Vietnam War in march 1968 but technical wise - Bad Miming , voices did not match the American Soldiers, bad acting , i could of acted better myself and very bad effects and yes the part where the American Soldier was screaming "my leg my leg" was very amateur so i was glad when he got blew up, parts of the movie i couldn't tell if the U.S Troops had English accents or American lol , I would just read up on the real events of My Lai Four rather than watching this very badly made movie i give maybe 2 out of 10
david-slattery Just been on vacation to Vietnam and visited the My Lai memorial,a deeply moving experience.In my opinion, this was a cheap and nasty attempt to recreate the story of the massacre.I hated the attempts to 'Hollywoodize' the story.There were feeble attempts to introduce a fictional love story which just cheapened the whole story.Most of the time, the villagers sounded more American than the Americans, except when they suddenly switched to Vietnamese for no apparent reason! The standard of acting was appalling and wooden. The dialogue was inane and most of the effects were pathetic.This film is an insult to the people who died at My Lai. One to avoid.
pusite147 Seriously through, don't even waste time to watch it. Most of the actors can't even act, and yet it is very disturbing. Dialogue and camera shot are the worst and i can't believe they spent €2,000,000 on this crap.Casting is also very awful. They hired Filipino actress to play the leading role which is very ridiculous and it shows her weird Vietnamese accent. They should have hired Vietnamese to play this role instead of her. Well I don't have a problem with her acting, but I think they should cast "Right people" to play the "Right Role"It's just worst and worst, don't watch it!
straycat19 Very unrealistic movie, can't even get the service right, at one point one of the soldiers says they are marines. Anyone that was there knows all the screaming that is used as a backdrop making the soldiers seem like a bunch of whimpering children never took place, nor did I see anything like this in any of my three trips to nam. Tactically the movie has it all wrong, no one would drop in place during a mortar attack and then bunch up in a bomb crater. Correct procedure is to move out of the kill zone and stay at least 5 meters apart. Uniforms are wrong. Complete uniforms with steel pots were required. No one went on a mission wearing boonie hats and no shirts. All of this took place in the first couple minutes of the film at which point I quit watching it. Thought it would be a documentary instead of pure fiction.
