Thanks, Harm! Very good. I'll post it here. Uhh, and guess what, I had a look at my shelves and discovered that I actually found and bought the film sometime last year on Danish ex-rental, haha. I'd totally forgotten. xD
The film is ok. Nothing special, but it does what you may expect from a film like this. Carradine was also in P.O.W. The Escape (directed by Gideon Amir) which was also, partially, shot in The Philippines.
What I liked most about this film, was how Cirio H. Santiago infused this sense of the (often brutal) legacy of US military intervention in Asia. Instead of the usual good vs. evil, it's more about North Vietnam vs. the USA, with the innocent civilians the ultimate losers. It was a level of depth that's seldom incorporated into most Philippine Vietnam War films.
