    cant i give it 0? Do yourself a favor - give it a miss!!

    the worst "war movie" I have ever seen - the script was corny to say the least and the USA USA chanting made me vomit (maybe Americans love this stuff???) I am glad that I saw this at a friend's house on a 75 cent bootleg DVD bought here in China as it would be shame to have spent $5 to go to see it at the movies!

    Really bad

    The Nu Image film company can often be depended on to deliver some good, mindless action in one of their straight-to-video movies, but this particular one drops the ball in EVERY aspect that you can think of. You shouldn't be surprised that there is no one in the cast that you recognize - not only was the movie apparently too cheap to hire even a faded B movie star, but the dialogue is often so bad that even a faded B movie star would think this movie would destroy their reputation. Needless to say, the unexperienced no-name cast is incredibly bad at spouting off the inane dialogue. What about action, surely there must be at the very least some good, mindless action? Nope. A lot of the footage of the flying Apache helicopters is obviously footage from the major studio movie "Firebirds", cut together with the new footage to make things absolutely unexciting. Pathetic explosions and bad use of slow motion are the icing on this turd-flavored cake. If you were a willing participant in the making of this movie, shame! Shame!

    95 minutes of rubbish.

    I rented this DVD for $1 as a weekly, and I still feel ripped off. I cannot imagine the production company made a profit from this film? I hope DEJ productions make a better film next time.

    Also, it looks bad when they use poor computer animation for some of their helicopter scenes.

    There seemed to be a lacking of logic in the way the soldiers and pilots carried out their missions. Poor editing too, probably just rushed. But what can I expect for $1.

    You may be able to get a refund on your money, but that is 95 minutes of your life you will never see again.

    I didn't spend a dime to watch this movie and I still felt cheated...

    I believe this is a major accomplishment by Hollywood. The first widely distributed commercial movie directed and written entirely by 12 year olds.

    The clichés are overwhelming, the editing seems to have been done by a lazy slob - especially apparent during a scene where top army brass watch a helicopter goes down on his monitor screen - who the heck was the stupid jerk holding a camera 50 feet from a battle helicopter in a jungle during combat?

    Last words: if Americans really do act the way they are portrayed in this movie, it is no wonder that many hate them so much.

    A very B class movie that could be done a lot better

    This is one of the cheesiest movies i have ever seen. They takes lines through out the movie from great movies like Top Gun, Comanche, and Fire Birds. The flight scenes are the worst I have ever seen in a movie looking like they used R/C Helicopters to do most of the stunts. How much did it take to make this movie? Couldn't have been much. As far as the ground stunts and explosions looks to much like computer generated. The actors did an OK job for who they are. If movie where to be remade i would spend a lot more money. Also it shows in the movie that the military was not consulted very much or they probably would not have signed off. Just goes to show that anybody with a little bit of money can try to make a movie although not a very good one
