Uwe Boll, previously a purveyor of "torture porn", has suddenly decided to try his hand at a war movie. This one's titled 1968 Tunnel Rats, presumably because his viewing fans, (of which there are several in these pages), would then have some idea of when the Vietnam war occurred. The "story", such as it is, revolves around a platoon of American soldiers who are on a search and destroy mission. They uncover some Viet Cong underground tunnels in the jungle and, in the process of reconnoitering, many die horrible deaths. This is where Mr. Boll's previous film experience comes in handy, and thus the description of some viewers here as "intense". Actually it's simply poorly staged screen violence, the main attraction of Boll's previous film efforts, and there's little else that adds interest to the movie. One of the worst Vietnam war movies ever made.
