The film costars Brendan Fraser, an actor I have trouble taking seriously most of the time. I'm not sure if it is the tone of his voice, but he always seems hokey to me and it wasn't until Extraordinary Measures that I thought much of him. Do Thi Hai Yen plays the girl in this love triangle, and is the one on the movie poster.
The film starts with Caine's character identifying Fraser's character's body at a morgue, then talking to the police. Based in Vietnam before the start of America's involvement, at the time when the Soviets are are at war. The film focuses on these two men, a reporter from America, and the other from Britain. Starting out as a romance, and ending as a war/conspiracy movie, I just didn't see this one hitting a very large viewing audience. Those interested in the political side are already dis-interested after the romance lingers. Those who are coming for a good love triangle romance aren't going to get a worthwhile conclusion as this plot takes a back seat as the film progresses.
It was a very forgettable film, with little excitement, and not much reason to remember it. Probably better to pass on this one.
