Among them were 16 Marines helping to mop up a trapped enemy unit below Danang and one infantryman in a patrol that was ambushed 40 miles north of Saigon.

As for special effects, the studio North Pole is convincing insofar as none of us have been there to challenge it, and the airplane sequences, though plainly process shots miniatures, are kind of a groove and will evoke comfortable chuckling. After 2001, routine special effects simply don't pass by without a wince or two. The film's tight acting accounts for several of the small virtues, with Ernest...
