    Everyone is aware of Uwe Boll's reputation. I hate the man myself. But I'd been anticipating Tunnel Rats for a number of months. It looked like a genuinely decent movie. Alas, its potential was shattered following the first half an hour. This is Boll's best movie to date, ...( read more)but that's an awfully faint and dubious praise.

    Full review coming soon...

    This is about the Vietnam war and the A group of US Solders crawling down into the Vietnamese tunnels, trying to flush out the enemy. Its pretty graphic, and its based on actual events. This group of US Fighting forces were unrecognized for years and thats to bad. I warn you thi...( read more)s movie is not for the weak of heart, and anyone who suffers from flashbacks might want to avoid this one. The movie itself is of good quality. The ending about sums up the heart of every US Solder. Its not an outstanding movie, just a good movie, 3 ˝ stars.

    Tunnel Rats takes place during the Vietnam War and shows a special combat unit that is sent out to hunt and kill the Viet Cong soldiers that hide out in endless tunnels underneath the jungles of Vietnam its a very dangerous mission and most if not all wont get out alive cause as ...( read more)these soldiers are hunting and being hunted the Viet Cong have also attacked there main base camp taken it by surprise, Well first of all yes this is another movie by the infamous for bad movies Uwe Boll the exception here is this one isnt bad at all and comes out as realistic as possible i happen to like some of bolls work so this one might not be for all tastes

    Thankfully I can only imagine that war in general is bloody nasty but fighting in tunnels like this, in the dark, alonem with lunatic Viet-con trying to get you.....no thanks..Really atmospheric and greatly showed the pressure theses noys were under..

    I can now, in absolute proud confidence (well, maybe not soo proud) declare that all of his movies are utter trash. The opening titles are done over a helicopter shot zooming all over the jungle, but it's soo jittery and jumpy, they either had a terrible piolt, a shitty mount att...( read more)ached to the helicopter, or were filming it at the wrong FPS. I won't be surprised if it was all of those at one time. He's dialogue is still stupid and his characters are flat, as are the performances he generates from his cliched stock of movie war people. The pacing is asinine, and the gore effects are spotty.

    A movie which turned out to be really good actually and way over my expectations. It has unfamilar actors and the director Uwe Boll has done mostly low budget and not so great flicks over the years so thats what suprised me. Its not platoon material of course but for being a war ...( read more)movie generally its definitely worth seeing with a few nice actions scenes and solid performances overall.

    This turned out to be a fairly good movie. even tho the beginning was yawn. But i just wanted to know what happened to the last 2 guys. Did they just disappear? The movie ending was abrupt.
