The film handles difficult issues of wartime morality, with clear parallels to the American experience in Vietnam, but Beresford's direction is so placid, distanced, and methodical that the film never admits any doubt or debate; it tends to seal up the issues rather than liberate them.

An Australian classic from Bruce Beresford. A simple but highly effective piece of story telling about the fog of war.

Decent Aussie war film with good performances and writing though the music and editing are a bit off.
