I viewed this at my local cinema with no preconceptions. I'd not seen the trailer and all I knew was it was an Australian film set during the Vietnam war.
It was gripping from the very beginning and had me entertained throughout. The special effects and action sequences were on par with anything Hollywood has ever produced and the Australian accents and story resonated with me as an Australian myself.
The cinematography, music score and sound overall is impressive leaving me ducking in my seat as bullets and mortar rounds fired.
I have no knowledge on how historically accurate the film is but it does make references to the specific events that unfolded in 1966. The war servicemen who lost their lives are honoured and it portrays the ANZACS with deserving respect. I'll be recommending this film to my friends and family to see at the cinema. I hope to see it available on home movie streaming services in future to watch again.
