Review

Some of the american Vietnam veterans who have died in the war is later resurrected from death using military technology. They have created to be soldiers with inhuman strength and they are used in dangerous missions like hostage cases. As excepted not everything is going well and these soldiers who should not have memories left of their past starts to have flashbacks of the past. What worse, they start to behave like they behave in the war and soon this secret military project causes lots of harm and danger to general public.

I loved this movie. It was a good old action movie with a style and interesting story on its own genre.

I generally like the aesthetics of many movies made in 90's and this is one great example. There is just something visually pleasing in the style of movies of that era. Maybe it was the film used, maybe it was beautiful realistic scenes where things really got blown up instead of CGI, I don't know, but I just like how this movie look.

Action is well made, pacing is good, there is enough plot built and there is good battle in the end.

Great movie on its own genre.
