Weak dialog, pathetic acting, and a plot that has more holes in it than Swiss cheese. I guess this used to pass for an acceptable adventure movie in the 70's, but is laughable today. The only exciting and memorable parts are the actual mountain climbing. It looks very dangerous, until you remember that there's a whole film crew up there with them without all the fancy paraphernalia.

A distorted telling of the Vietnam war where the US can't do anything right or win any battles. The opposite of "The Green Berets" which is overly positive. Granted, the portrayed mistakes probably happened. But they happened over 10 years. Not common occurrences and not all to one unit, as implied by the movie. To be expected from Oliver Stone.
