When Soldiers Cry

This was the worst movie ever made about Vietnam,was Mr black born in N.Vietnam? he made our troops look like bumbling idiots! their uniforms were wrong the shoes were wrong,the weapons ,didn't you ever read a book on the subject?he shot everything in 1 acre of land.and those lines through the whole movie to make it look old, please! you should have shot it in 8mm or 35mm and then scratched yourself then it would have looked like a documentary.I saw all the credits at the end of this thing and every one of them was by Joe black! except the cater for food maybe this is what Joe should do, cater. I hope this critique helps you with your future work that is in your mind,take your time, think before you do. You are young learn from your mistakes. Ezekiel

First off i have to say i never watched the full thing but i saw enough!, If someone ever asks me what the worst movie ever made is i'll now have my answer. I'll assume that whoever made this abomination will be reading this.........what were you thinking?? it looks to me like you woke up one day and thought hey i'll make a movie and then proceeded to make it that same afternoon with whatever was lying around the house. The acting if you can call it that was cringe worthy, where ever you found them you really need to send them back and make them promise never to attempt acting again.By the way actually pointing the camera at the "actors" would be a good idea should you feel the need to terrorize the public with another "movie" Personally I think you should put down the camera and step away before someone gets hurt. You probably feel i'm being harsh and you may be right but i feel it my duty to stop others from being harmed.

This must be the worst movie I have ever seen, bar-none. The acting embarrassed me where I sat. The camera work was a disaster. Many shots were out of frame. If this was some random artistic method, it is impossible to tell. The editing, if you call it that, was lacking and disgusting. It wouldn't surprise me to learn the movie was made, start to finish, in one day. Shot in one day using the first and only take on every scene. It reminds me of an amateur home video of someone in their backyard in a Midwestern suburb. Luckily his name was plastered on the movie poster and DVD cover, so if I have the misfortune of coming across anything associated with Joe Black in the future, I will be able to relocate said material to the nearest toilet where it belongs, and be able to sleep soundly knowing I performed an outstanding work of charity on that day. One minute is all you need to watch to know how miserable your life could be should you let the movie continue to play. It is not even amusingly awful. It is painfully poor.

Arguably, more money was invested in advertising and promotion than on production.

The initial camera work was excruciating to watch, the plot (sic) meandered, the acting was embarrassing and inconsistent; going from poor to dreadful. Almost every aspect was deficient, such as the lighting and camera work. The props were apparently borrowed from the local amateur dramatic society.

There was a complete absence of continuity, atmosphere and professionalism.This had the quality of an attempt by cinematography students in their freshman year. The movie style was reminiscent of the Blair Witch Project, without the action.

I can not recall watching a worse movie, nor anything close to it. Some investors should be looking to get a refund on this piece of "work". They and the viewing audience were scammed.

For the real story of the Tunnel Rats, get the book: The Tunnels of Cu Chi: A Harrowing Account of America's "Tunnel Rats" in the Underground Battlefields of Vietnam. Publishers Weekly said: The authors, BBC journalists, discuss the Vietcong who lived, worked and fought in tunnels, particularly the ones in Cu Chi, a district just north of Saigon, as well as the U.S. Army "tunnel rats," who tried to explore and clear the underground cities. PW found that this book "provides a striking view of a neglected but crucial aspect of the Vietnam war." In this movie, the Chinese-American soldier Aka Han is played by a Caucasian, which makes the casting problematic. He is the putative Tunnel Rat. Although I opposed the War in Vietnam, in this movie the Americans only manage to kill one Vietnamese, an innocent peasant woman who has nothing to do with the tunnels. I guess this is the antidote to Rambo.
