...though not sufficiently stirring performance as Davenport. Clad in military khakis and MacArthur-style mirror sunglasses, Rollins is appropriately impressive as the figure who inspires both white hostility and the mixed emotions of the Black soldiers who have never before seen one of their own in an officer's uniform. While the intensity builds well for the first hour, the climactic scenes just do not deliver the expected emotional payoff.

Like U.S. military personnel everywhere, they show the beneficial effects of four years of sharply increased spending by the Reagan Administration on military pay, equipment and facilities, as well as a post-Viet Nam restoration of pride in the armed forces.
