This entire movie is situated almost entirely underground, in small and narrow tunnels, which were dug out by the Vietcong during the Vietnam war in the sixties.
An inexperienced group of young American soldiers need to survey the entire tunnel system in order to find an important secret list that has gotten into the hands of the Vietcong. Will they find it or die trying?
The good; there is a contineous suspense, with lots of creeping around underground in tunnels, having to fear for your life of meeting the Vietcong soldiers at every corner of a new tunnel entrance. On top of that there is the fear of getting lost in this underground maze of tunnels.
The big names (Aaron Eckhart and Jonathan Rhys Meyers) only play small supporting roles, so if you expect to see them much, that will be disappointment. The entire movie is carried by young unknown actors, who act quite well fortunately.
Any bad? It's not an explosively thrilling war movie, it's mostly a suspenseful story, but I kinda liked that suspense vibe. It gets better near the end, with total mayhem and bloodshed, so have some patience, it gets better along the way...
