Michael S This film has some deleted scenes that honestly should've been here but man, this film is so underrated. A very powerful & intense drama that really sticks with you. It's such a shame that no one talks about it. Fantastic cast and a great musical score by Ennio Morricone. Definitely one of those movies you only watch once. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/01/24 Full Review Alec C In the midst of conflict, everyone is capable of committing the most depraved actions! During the Vietnam War, a young cadet is assigned to a group of soldiers who kidnap an innocent Vietnamese girl for sick pleasure, so he attempts to court-martial the rapists without getting killed himself. Based on a true event that happened during one of America's bloodiest battles, we are forced to confront the fact of what we would during those circumstances! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/18/24 Full Review Michael W This war movie was great. Michael J. Fox, Sean Penn, Don Harvey, John C. Reilly, John Leguizamo, Ving Rhames, and the rest of the cast did a great job in this movie. The plot of the movie was dramatic, dark, and shocking. It's about witnessing a war crime and doing anything you can to make sure the men responsible suffer the consequences. If you haven't seen this movie yet, check it out sometime. It may be scary to watch at times, but it still turns out good in the end. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/10/23 Full Review Nol P Don't get me totally wrong as there is a tiny bit of good in this film Casualties of War that I finally watched again just now and for just my 2nd and very last time ever. Mike J Fox was excellent! Story was ok. Direction was just ok. Sean Penn was weak and non convincing. And add to that on John C Reilly's performance and who is the absolute worst actor on the planet! I mean Pauly Shore and Cocaine Bear could have been more convincing! My rating cannot be better than 4.5 out of 10! I had better hopes too for this going in and it was all Michael J Fox or this would have easily landed a 2 out of 10 score! Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/14/23 Full Review Shioka O Surprisingly J.Fox worked here. A rare watchable war film. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/17/22 Full Review Lequisha S [4/5/21]: This was good man, heartwrenching. Some parts were clunky or on the nose (the newbie getting blown up) though. Cam from POV multiple times, with kidnapping and Meserve coming up to Eriksson after). The best scene was the black dude explaining to MJ Fox that the system is too strong. That's the way things are. Best shot was the rain coming down after the assault talks place. De Palma really went in with telling a brutal story about war. Here, I think all the violence depicted is warranted. We need to be repulsed with that imagery in order for his point to be made with the greatest effect. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/06/22 Full Review Read all reviews
