This review is from: Search and Destroy (VHS Tape)
In a time when "First Blood" and the "Missing In Action" movies collided with "Platoon" and "Hamburger Hill", we have a sample of what might happen back home.
"Search And Destroy" (1982) is a gritty, extremely suspensful cat-and-mouse chase that has an unforgettable ending. Perry King - a popular TV actor of the time (Riptide, etc)-takes on the role of a recent Vietnam vet who is the last of a squad of soldiers who are being hunted down and killed - by a comrade who holds a grudge. Interestingly, the fellow soldier - the villian - is Vietnamese, and he performs all the necessary rituals over candles and pictures in his hotel room before he executes one of the squadmates. A bonus is a great performance by Don Stroud - who could've been an action figure all his own. In the end, an overnight battle in the park leads to a soundtrack that is both haunting and electronic - perfect for the era. |
