Notes
Story Synopsis:
Based on an actual incident that occurred during the Vietnam War, a girl is taken from her village by five American soldiers. Four of the soldiers rape her, but Private Eriksson (Fox) refuses. The young girl is killed, but not forgotten. Eriksson (Fox) is determined that justice will be done, even if it means standing up to his commanding officer (Penn). This is a study of how morality can become one of the Casualties Of War. (Suzanne Hodges)
DVD Picture:
The anamorphically enhanced 2.40:1 DVD picture exhibits images that are sharp and detailed, though occasionally images appear slightly smeared. Colors are well balanced, and rich, with accurate fleshtones and deep blacks. Contrast and shadow delineation appear well balanced. There is occasional edge enhancement and pixelization, but overall the picture is quite satisfying. (Suzanne Hodges)
Soundtrack:
The Dolby® Digital 5.1-channel remastered soundtrack provides for a welcome update to the original audio, by offering a fairly consistent, satisfying sense of dimension and expansiveness. It seems that this soundtrack repurposing served to enhance dimension, while at the same time maintaining the essential sonic character of the original audio. During heightened moments, surround engagement is aggressive, and the soundstage in general becomes substantially enlivened. The low-end features sparse .1 LFE enhancement, notably with explosions, and content below 50 Hz is limited otherwise. The sonic character associated with these explosions sounds enhanced, yet not distractingly detached from the original audio. (Perry Sun)
