barzelingo This is much better than remembered. Cinematography is amazing for the budget. Music and FX are good. It's varied and tense and really serious about it's message. Of course it's a rip-off a few months before Rambo was out, but it has a different, less whiney charm.This seems to be the best Norris movie, so even if it's just a war movie, it's a masterpiece in it's niche.

rdoyle29 I like Norris and I like Cannon films, and this involves accepting the fact that Norris's politics are idiotic and most of his films are stupid. I get that, and a really idiotic piece of trash like "The Delta Force" is also an immensely entertaining near masterpiece of it's type. I really have to draw the line here. I not only didn't enjoy this film, I'd have to say I actively hated it. It's a really sincere and mean-spirited journey into Norris's delusional obsessions.

paulsier Yeah, I know low budget...but still good entertainment. This is the first one, not to be confused with the 2 mediocre sequels. Former Special Forces Col. James Braddock escaped from a from a Vietnamese communist POW camp. The Washington establishment want him to be part of a high ranking delegation to put the MIA issue to bed. Braddock reluctantly agrees to join the delegation and fly to Ho Chi Minh City/Saigon, where he insults various communist murderers/butchers and upsets the liberal pantywaist American delegation, except for the the sympathetic and beautiful Ann/Lenore Kadorf. Braddock then goes rogue to rescue the imprisoned American soldiers/MIAs. Much superior to the sanitized TV version, we see the beautiful Lenore in a nice nude scene. However it is the last scene which almost makes this movie a 10! Naturally it was panned by the commie/marxist/responsible conservative movie critics.

OllieSuave-007 This is not a bad action flick starring Chuck Norris as Col. Braddock, a Vietnam vet, who goes back to the country to rescue MIAs the Vietnamese government denies are being held captive.The movie starts off a little slow with the mediocre acting, but picks up steam when we get to see Norris in action, decking Communist soldiers left and right and attempts to get information from a general about the missing MIAs. Braddock going on his mission in foreign lands, dodging assassins while he tries to rescue the MIAs were pretty exciting and suspenseful.Overall, not the best action flick out there. Acting could have been better, but it's still pretty action-packed.Grade B-
