There aren't any plot surprises in this low-budget effort, so the success of the mission from a viewer standpoint depends on how well you connect with the characters and their plight.
Janice Page, Boston Globe
Rotten
A worthy effort that's entirely appropriate for mainstream audiences.
Ted Fry, Seattle Times

It has the strengths and the clean lines of a traditional war movie, without high-tech special effects to pump up the noise level.
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Rotten
It's the movie equivalent of singing 'Onward Christian Soldiers' to those already in the choir.
Robert K. Elder, Chicago Tribune
