Watch When Soldiers Cry For Free

Wow! Such a good movie.

This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

I'm not gonna waste my time to write as long review as other.I really regret that I didn't read reviews before watching this movie, which is probably the worst movie I've ever seen. After 5 minutes of beginning I skipped-through an hour of this horror. It was a waste of perfectly good 15 minutes of my life. I wouldn't watch this whole movie even if I got paid for it.I'm not gonna write about acting, light, shots, sound, script, editing and so on, because EVERYTHING is terrible. You name it - it is bad.I'd like to give this movie 0, because I feel 1 is too much. Those high votes are obviously from Joe and his crew. Pathetic!

For the real story of the Tunnel Rats, get the book: The Tunnels of Cu Chi: A Harrowing Account of America's "Tunnel Rats" in the Underground Battlefields of Vietnam. Publishers Weekly said: The authors, BBC journalists, discuss the Vietcong who lived, worked and fought in tunnels, particularly the ones in Cu Chi, a district just north of Saigon, as well as the U.S. Army "tunnel rats," who tried to explore and clear the underground cities. PW found that this book "provides a striking view of a neglected but crucial aspect of the Vietnam war." In this movie, the Chinese-American soldier Aka Han is played by a Caucasian, which makes the casting problematic. He is the putative Tunnel Rat. Although I opposed the War in Vietnam, in this movie the Americans only manage to kill one Vietnamese, an innocent peasant woman who has nothing to do with the tunnels. I guess this is the antidote to Rambo.

This movie should be re-branded as a comedy. If anyone tells you they have seen the worse movie ever made, you can always ask them if they have seen 'When Soldiers Cry'? This easily is the worse movie I have ever seen by a long stretch. Most reviewers here only lasted 10 minutes or so... well I watched the whole thing & that took some doing. We have a soap opera here in Ireland called 'Fair City' which has the worse acting in history... well now I know where the rejects from the Fair City auditions go... to Joe Blacks back garden to make a movie. Even the props mans budget only allowed him to go to the pound shop & pick up a couple of plastic guns... it would have made my day if water had come from them when they were fired! Howthis has made it even to DVD is astounding. If someone gives you this for nothing it's too expensive. I ended up laughing at how bad this was & moved the DVD from the War section to the comedy one where it belongs!

Really....did he steal it? He stole valuable minutes of our lives with a fantasy Vietnam film.I say fantasy because NOTHING about this film in any way resembles the RVN that I fought and bled in.And none of his characters would have lasted 1 day in the field.There was no such infantry job as "tunnel rat".Everyone in an infantry platoon sans Platoon: Leader, Sgt and Medic took their turn crawling in holes and walking point.And if any moron puffed a stinking cigar when we were about to engage, I WOULD HAVE SHOT HIM.Most of the so-called Vietnam war movies have no resemblance to what it was like and some like the Rambo and Chuck Norris films bordered on satire.At least they were entertaining and often had SOME bit of help from a consultant.This piece of garbage has NOTHING....... no entertainment value, poor actors, no direction, and a ridiculously dishonest portrayal of wartime Vietnam's jungle.It's amazing that someone could throw away so much money in these hard times.
