Customer Reviews

Much better than the jerk with the limited vocabulary allows
There are 58,183 names on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. The lives they touched tell their stories. This is the story of 3 brave men who never made it home, told in three short, unique segments. THE PENCIL HOLDER: Edward James Olmos plays a tough Colonel struggling to raise his young son on an American military base surrounded by the brutality of battle. THE BADGE: Ruby Dee - in a heart wrenching role - reveals the pain a grandmother feels as she sends her beloved grandson overseas. THE PLAYER: Starring Frank Whaley & Michael DeLorenzo - A selfless squad leader must confront a parasitic hustler who's getting rich off the spoils of war.

Great Movie
This is a GREAT movie,even though it has a underlying anti-war tone.
The three segments depic the war,for the most part,as it was. The last segment hit home for me. We had a guy we called Jammer,man he could play,in our unit. Jammer was KIA thirty days before rotation out.
If you belive in our troops this movie will hit home.

CRAP!
This was utter, utter ...(bull). I rented this movie and I would have baseball batted this piece of ...(bull) across my backyard but, I didn't want to have to pay for it. Wasn't even worth the $4 I spent renting it. It's shallow attempt at sentimentality was just mindbogglingly stupid. I actually regret renting this and wasting those fleeting moments of my life on it. I wanted to sue the company that made this movie for that couple of hours I wasted on this ...(bull) back but, it wasn't worth the time. Complete ...(bull). Never ever even contemplate renting this. AWFUL.
