Field of Fire

Gosh! How come nobody in my town has seen this masterpiece? Probably 'cause it's too hard to find. Either way, I have taped it off of HBO and love every minute of it. It was actually the second or third movie I had in my collection of over 2,000 videos. And it's still the best action movie I've ever seen, or at least that I can think of. Everybody's always complaining about action movies not having enough action. That's not true with this one...95% action and 5% talking. It still has a plot, too. Here it goes: Major Ironhand goes down during a firefight and he parachutes down with his buddy. So this airforce guy battles some Viet Cong soldiers until a special-forces team of six guys arrives. They battle about 200 of the enemies to rescue him, but then they gotta get him out. Another 200 army dudes are out there, even though Santiago uses the same extras over and over. No problem, though; the squibs are abundant, the music is riveting, the dialogue ain't too shabby, and the action, of course, is non-stop. The ending is tremendous, having more shootouts than Hollywood can offer. My only complaint: David Carradine is limited to a small role, but besides, he saves the day! Jimmy T. is my favorite character, too. Dramatic stuff there. Cirio Santiago, you rule! Thanks, man, for making the greatest action movie of all-time. Platoon sucks compared to this.

It is a very good war film about the Vietnam war and it should be seen by all action-film fan!!! What a shame that this great film is not available on DVD in Germany/Austria! I would love to have it!!! The film was made in 1991. I saw the film in 1996 the 1st time and got shocked about how good the film was made!

The film is about a few U.S. Soldiers that save a pilot that got shot down. The Vietcong is everywhere in the jungle of Vietnam and for a moment it looks like that no one of the guys gets out alive! The film is full with action and gunfights. Just take a look at it!

I have to give this film a 10 out of 10!

OK i saw it guys it's very good for such a low budget flick,everyone must watch this movie.Non stop action and very spectacular.

I mean they throw like 20 grenades and they shoot probably 30 rocket luncher ,high body count,violent but it was lacking blood sometimes,lack of budget probably.

Hahahaahaaah so many explosions it's incredible,reminds me of the final shootouts of Commando,also it reminds me of Predator,Rambo 2,Strike Commando,Robowar.

Probably one of the best low budget movie ever Caradine has only a small role in this,but he kicked ass at the end.

10/10
