Storyline

Lt. Col. Iceal "Ham" Hambleton is a weapons countermeasures expert and when his aircraft is shot over enemy territory the Air Force very much wants to get him back. Hambleton knows the area he's in is going to be carpet-bombed but a temporary shortage of helicopters causes a delay. Working with an Air Force reconnaissance pilot, Capt. Bartholomew Clark, he maps out an escape route.

I was reminded of Hackman's comment in Night Moves that watching a Rohmer film was like watching paint dry - although in this case, it's more like watching blood coagulate.

A straightforward, surprisingly somber picture that sticks to the facts.

RTTime OutJan 26, 2006

An unsatisfactory mix of low-key heroics, buddy-buddy humour, and anti-war sentiment ..

...an above-average endeavor that ranks above many of its similarly-themed brethren.
