"John Woo's most uncomfortably violent film concerns three buddies on the lam who end up in war-torn Vietnam, where they meet a variety of violent circumstances that test their moral character and the bonds of brotherhood. An epic movie that has been compared, not inaptly, to The Deer Hunter, particularly for its harrowing scenes in a Vietcong internment camp." - Fredric Dannen, Hong Kong Babylon: An Insider's Guide to the Hollywood of the East
