VHS Movie Reviews of Casualties of War [VHS]
Movie Review: Anti war, anti military, piece of garbage
Summary: 1 Stars
This movie depicts our soldiers and that war in a way that is about as biased and far to the left as it can get. I picked this piece of trash up in a discount bin at Wal-Mart. After watching it, I know why it was in that bin {right after watching it, it was in my trash bin}. There are bad people in every walk of life, military included, but the way these soldiers are portrayed; violent, murdering, heartless, rapists, is over the top. This movie is implying in many ways, that this was common practice by our military HEROES, and cover ups for this behavior was accepted.
I am confident that Sean Penn loved making this movie - this guy is about as un-American as it gets, and I am sure he jumped at the chance to play a role that undermines the greatness of those that served our country and the sacrifice that many of them made. Brian De Palma should be ashamed of himself for this left wing propaganda piece of trash of a movie.
Summary of Casualties of War [VHS]
Based on a true story, this Brian De Palma film casts Michael J. Fox as a soldier in Vietnam in a squad led by Sean Penn. While on patrol, in the wake of an ambush that has left friends dead, they kidnap and rape a Vietnamese woman--then murder her. But Fox, one of the soldiers who refused to participate in the rape, is so appalled by the killing that he reports it--and finds himself being treated as the villain. Penn is scarily tough as the vindictive soldier and De Palma does a solid job of re-creating the crime, making it a thing of horror. Yet this film never quite connects, despite a strong performance by Fox and a supporting cast that includes John C. Reilly and John Leguizamo. --Marshall FineDrama VHS Video
