Late afternoon August 18, 1966 South Vietnam - for three and a half hours, in the pouring rain, amid the mud and shattered trees of a rubber plantation called Long Tan, Major Harry Smith and his dispersed company of 108 young and mostly inexperienced Australian and New Zealand soldiers are fighting for their lives, holding off an overwhelming enemy force of 2,500 battle hardened Viet Cong and North Vietnamese soldiers. With their ammunition running out, their casualties mounting and the enemy massing for a final assault each man begins to search for his own answer - and the strength to triumph over an uncertain future with honor, decency and courage. The Battle of Long Tan is one of the most savage and decisive engagements in ANZAC history, earning both the United States and South Vietnamese Presidential Unit Citations for gallantry along with many individual awards. But not before 18 Australians and more than 500 enemies are killed.

I dunno. Pretty average. Some good scenes but clumsy screenplay. Doesn't ring true. I wasn't there but was in the army and so it just doesn't seem convincing. Hollywood overlay over a film that should have been more Odd Angry Shot...big meh from me.

It's enjoyable. Not as big budget as some of the US war films, but still get a feel for what it was like. The ending was a bit too cliche.

This was a great movie! My dad was in this war... And it is something we should all watch. Good action! But had humorous and some emotional moments. 5 stars good job
