| United Press InternationalCathy BurkeFor want of a timeless message on the horrors of war, Coppola does indeed tell a compelling story of one man's battle on the homefront. Caan gives a stunning performance after a five-year absence from the movie screen. |
| VarietyVariety StaffSeems to take its name not so much from the Arlington Memorial Cemetery, where much of the action takes place, but from the stiffness of the characters it portrays. |
| Kalamazoo GazetteJames Sanford"sheer dreariness directed with fists of ham" |
| New York TimesVincent CanbyThe most important missing ingredient is Mr. Coppola. |
| Washington PostHal HinsonThere's a curious ambiguity in Coppola's feelings about the soldiers and their life. |
| User ReviewTony MI was moved to tears and had thoughts of those left behind |
| User Reviewfrankie hOutstanding movie for an army movie. It is a sad one though, one of the few movies that actually get to me emotionally... |
| User ReviewMarc LAn underrated movie with a different look of the US military during Vietnam. A must-see!!!! |
| User ReviewJeffrey CWhen James Caan's character stomps on the hippie's throat at the garden party.... I had tears in my eyes! |
| User ReviewConcrete JungleGreat Film! Incredible cast! The realism is very apparent to those who have served. |
