Mike Jones I wanted to like this movie. In fact, until the last 15 minutes I did like it, for the most part.It had its faults. Movies that use a lot of guns, even B-movies like this one, should hire someone that KNOWS something about guns to coach the actors. At the minimum, actors should be made aware of the concepts of muzzle and trigger discipline. They should be taught how sights work. These characters are frequently seen with boogerhooks on bang switches and pointing their guns at their buddies, and they mow down enemy relentlessly firing without aiming or even shouldering the weapon.Because of that, I wanted to HATE this movie, but the acting wasn't that bad and the story was compelling. As B-movies go, it was much better than average, and certainly worth a watch.We have a team sent on a secret, an unauthorized mission, and they accomplish it. Then we have a commanding officer show up and massacre the indigenous people who made it happen and assisted its success.What started as a decent action-adventure war flick degenerates into just another left-wing presentation of how BAD America is, and those who serve Her.

Dedoctor This movie accurately shows the struggles of the U.S. Military in the Vietnam War. The clash between the higher ups and the men on the ground speaks true to the reason why we lost the war. Carradine's character is a man's man who should have run the war! I loved his quote "Maximize enemy casualties." While the action is a little far fetched the message is clear. This movie should be included in all of the Vietnam classics. With better sound editing this movie could have been on par with "Platoon" and "Apocalypse Now". With the success of Tony Dorsett's character I think that the government should have drafted NFL players. The athleticism that they bring to the fight is impressive. I know a lot of you who have seen this movie are wondering what I am talking about but there is a lot of sub surface meaning here. This movie covers the philosophical debate of good vs. evil, Carradine vs. the NVA but don't forget evil will always try to resurface. Many of you may not know this but Carradine began his great acting career in martial arts films and hasn't looked back yet. We see an example of Carradine's Martial Arts background with his technical use of the sword. The most heart breaking moment of the movie is where Tony Dorsett's character make the ultimate sacrifice to allow himself to be killed in order to blow up the NVA weapons cache.

Frank Markland David Carradine stars as a bad ass military commander who not only disobeys orders but also kills villagers that help our good guy marines out! Despite this cold blooded display of politics, Carradine organizes his troops' ambush and kills those pesky Viet Cong who are hiding everywhere. Kill Zone as expected holds little credibility outside of just settling down and watching a one man army flick but the action sequences are shoddily choreographed and the look of the film incredibly cheap-jack, making this for Carradine enthusiasts only. Still you have to love Carradine's macho braggadocio which consists of unleashing the F-bomb and chewing his cigar.*1/2 out of 4-(Poor)

sharx000 Haven't found a Carradine Vietnam film that isn't a gem yet. Love the two attempts to break the pencil. No No.3 pencils thank you!! This film is another filled with great querks that only Carradine himself could pull of so good! Still trying to figure out if he tells the guy to "Act like I got a pair" or "Act like ya got a pair"..either way...way to go Carradine. Another great ending also!!!! They get better each time!
