### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Good movie
  

*by H***R on Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2023*

I enjoyed the movie. I also enjoyed pointing out the mistakes of the movie as Hollywood doesn't do the military very well. But the story was great and movie good. Five stars for Michael J. Fox's performance.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Moral dilemma of a war crime ruined by getting overly dramatic
  

*by S***Y on Reviewed in the United States on July 13, 2023*

Casualties of War is a story about hate and racism. It follows a small group of American soldiers who are fighting an insurgency in Vietnam where they can't tell the good guys from the bad guys. That confusion leads them to consider all Vietnamese as the enemy and inhuman. The result is a war crime. The movie is about how each individual soldier reacts to what happens and how that creates a moral dilemma. That was the best part but halfway through it began dragging out scenes for dramatic effect which got really annoying.

    The Quintessential Capstone on the 1980s Vietnam War Film
  

*by S***D on Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2021*

The quintessential capstone on the 1980s Vietnam War film.Casualties of War is a brutal motion picture with stellar cinematography and exceptional performances.Overlooked by audiences when it came out in ‘89 possibly due to Vietnam film fatigue and an inability to see Michael J. Fox as anything other than a comedic actor, but there are dramatic riches to be found in this production but they are obviously tragic in nature.Simply put, this is a crime story about the kidnapping, gang rape, and murder of an innocent Vietnamese girl by a squad of brutalized, angry, soldiers during the Vietnam War and one man who can’t go along with it but fails to stop it. It is based on a real incident which De Palma had wanted to make into a film for many years.This is not an action movie. Although CoW has several combat scenes. Living with the psychology of the soldiers particularly Fox’s character as they descend into war weary, criminality is the main thrust of the film. It’s how war desensitizes one to others suffering until one finally becomes the perpetuator. The dialog and pacing of the film resembles a play to some extent, which the writer, David Rabe, had written several of before this film. This may be why some folks don’t end up liking the movie as it has melodramatic touches here and there. But in my opinion, it works to the movie’s strengths, especially with the music, because it gives the film that touch of a dreamlike quality, as if events are tragically remembered rather than being felt in real time. Additionally, the acting was superb by all involved especially the Vietnamese girl.I rate this product 4 stars as The Blu-ray has no commentary track and it does not have the extended cut which looks to be a better film based on the deleted scenes. Also De Palma should have staged one of the combat scenes much better than what ended up on screen. You’ll know what I’m talking about when you see it.Casualties of War is worth your time if you’re looking for a different type of war film.“You Emerge from Tragedy Equipped Against Lies” -Howard Barker
