Average Rating: 
Rating:  - "Uncommonly Good Acting"
I feel this is Gene Hackman at his best as an actor. It had one hundreth or less the budget of "Saving Private Ryan," "Platoon" and many others, but it scored just as high in the thought-provoking and action departments. Based on a true story about a retired officer that is determined to go find his MIA son in Laos, he recruits hand-picked Viet Nam vets to assist him in his quest.

Rating: - Best of all the '80's Vietnam movies
This movie was forerunner to all the other '80's Vietnam movies with a storyline of finding MIA's in Vietnam. By far it is the best of them all!

I would pick this movie above any others including the Chuck Norris series (Missing in Action) or even Stallone's Rambo (First Blood Part 2). If you get only one Vietnam MIA movie...this is the one you need.

Rating:  - One of the bad movies about Vietnam war.
I think some people like this film because it's about American soldiers listed as missing in action but they're believed still alive.
I can ignore a lot of logical holes in this picture but there are things I can't ignore. Below is the listing of those.
The hand-to-hand fighting scenes look outrageously fake.
The acting of everybody except Gene Hackman is wooden.
There's only one good scene. It's when in his dream, Gene Hackman saw his son, at that time, he was ... Read More
