Alternate versions
The UK cinema and video release has been cut by 55 seconds to obtain a '15' certificate. Numerous scenes were affected, particularly the rape and torture shots. In Ireland, the uncut version also initially earned an '18'. It was re-submitted in its cut British version which yet again earned an '18'. This decision was then taken to the Films Appeal Board, who downgraded the certificate to '15' on 16th February 1994. The UK DVD carries an Irish '18' while the British certificate is '15'.

Not too bad

After a long string of box office and critical successes, Oliver Stone tried making a different kind of war film, this one being shown from a Vietnamese woman's perspective. Very interesting and entertaining throughout, but it does have some extremely unpleasant and cruel scenes, not unlike many other war films. The first hour of the film takes place in Vietnam during the war and is full of Vietnamese culture and feeling. As soon as Tommy Lee Jones comes into the picture as an unstable American soldier, the film soon feels and becomes much more Americanized and eventually very depressing. An interesting work from Oliver Stone that unfortunately was barely released in 1993 and received lukewarm reviews from critics. Still, its worth watching, and its never boring. 7/10.
