It is a heartbreakingly effective fictional machine that evokes the agony of the Vietnam time.
– Roger Ebert,
Chicago Sun-Times,
23 Oct 2004
rotten:
A disgusting account of what the evil Vietnamese did to poor, innocent Americans stands at the center of this Oscar-laden weepie about macho buddies from a small industrial town.
– Jonathan Rosenbaum,
Chicago Reader,
13 Dec 2006
fresh:
The film is ambitious and it succeeds on a number of levels and it proves that Cimino is an important director who deserves to be watched carefully.

In trying to measure the devastating impact of Vietnam on the lives of three American soldiers, Cimino brings home the true horror of that senseless conflict in a way that the 6 O'Clock News never could.
