Storyline
The film's thin veneer of social propriety (the story of how the VietCong came under Hanoi's control) is merely a cover for a rolicking old-time battle tale, complete with a hard-tack sergeant, his rebellious sidekick, and a demoralized base that needs to be whipped into shape before the VietCong attack.—Binyamin Appelbaum

Short Review
An intense man's action marine war movie, that is surprisingly good for all its cliches about war and the marines.
