Media Type: DVDBased on a true story, this Brian De Palma film casts Michael J. Fox as a soldier in Vietnam in a squad led by Sean Penn. While on patrol, in the wake of an ambush that has left friends dead, they kidnap and rape a Vietnamese woman--then murder her. But Fox, one of the soldiers who refused to participate in the rape, is so appalled by the killing that he reports it--and finds himself being treated as the villain. Penn is scarily tough as the vindictive soldier and De Palma does a solid job of re-creating the crime, making it a thing of horror. Yet this film never quite connects, despite a strong performance by Fox and a supporting cast tha! t includes John C. Reilly and John Leguizamo. --Marshall FineStudio: Sony Pictures Home Ent Release Date: 03/27/2007 Run time: 119 minutes Rating: RBased on a true story, this Brian De Palma film casts Michael J.
