I saw this at my local theatre as a $5 mystery movie. I was blown away. The movie is based on a true story about a man who wanted to show thanks for his soldier buddies in Vietnam. He wanted to show thanks by delivering beer to his friends over 10,000 miles away in a war zone. There were many funny scenes in the movie and many serious ones. The balance of political view points were well balanced and represented the time very well. After the movie I ran into a Vietnam veteran who saw the movie and was in tears because some of the scenes sent his mind back in time to when he was an ammo troop. My only criticism is there should be maybe a warning to combat veterans regarding the graphic and emotional nature of some of the scenes. There were triggering moments in the film for combat vets. Overall a great adventure film about a guy who was sick of the media hating on our country and a guy who was sick of all the loser anti-American protests of the time. He just wanted to show thanks by delivering beer to his buddies in war and risked his own life.
