I watch this in the good ol' fashioned movie way back either in 1989 or 1990 . Nothing can beat watching an old Viet Nam War movie in an old fashioned movie theartre . You can as if smell it . It feels real

@DB742 Further clarification.. I was under the impression that while the communists gained access to the embassy compound (grounds) that they never breached the actual embassy building. Regardless, from my understanding, the US military and allies could have won if not for the cheese dick politicians who tied one hand behind our back and gave in to the protesters who took freedom for granted and have no idea of what we actually accomplished there. Overall, a sad episode for the free world.

@DB742 Thanks for the clarification. I seen a Vietnam documentary about the Tet Offensive that said otherwise. I wish I could remember the name of it. Sometimes it's hard to seperate reality from fiction when the producers have an agenda. Thank you for your service! I hope that all the Vietnam vets know how many Americans truly appreciated their sacrifice now as well as then.

@fubar1369 Sure did. They blew a hole in the embassy wall, charged in and occupied it for 6 hours until an Airborne unit landed on the roof and cleared them out.

I know that they made it into the embasy compound but I thought that the VC never penetrated the actual embasy.... Maybe I was mis-informed and maybe this is Hollywood.

Like how you cut the dialogue, voice-over & scenes together!! All that was missing was some dodgy narrative. Nice effort!!!

@DuYiZhang Getit! You won't be disappointed. it's a great flick.I Know. I was there.

@pjezierski no, his character is actually a Marine Sergeant Major, who takes control of the fire base from the Army Captain in command, whom was mentally unstable and high.

it's a latter day Shaka Zulu .
This film is probably one of the best and most overlooked film about Vietnam.
It showed a complete picture of both sides during the fight as well as the heroics and brutality of the conflict.
Nice job with the trailer.
