There's something about 80s cinema and teaming up some of the worst possible characters. Woods plays a real scumbag, but whoever thought that wasn't enough and added Belushi to the mix should think about what he did. While the film itself isn't too bad, the combo of these two was a constant annoyance.

Stone is a decent director and the atrocities of war were captured with the proper impact, but other than that it's a rather standard war flick, with two lead characters who aren't very fun to be around. Unless you're into war flicks and/or you like these types of bitchy 80s characters, there's not a whole lot here.
