In this adaptation of David Rabe’s savage play, Robert Altman offers an intense, dramatic film in which a group of young recruits in desolate Vietnam-era barracks come to terms with their prejudices. Billy and Roger have learnt to ignore their racial differences and have become good friends. Richie’s obviously effeminate personality alarms the others but it is not until Carlyle, an angry black man, arrives that these tensions boil over. This film is brimming with anger, violence, confusion and fear.
