3.0 out of 5 starsCertainly no "Hamburger Hill"
By T Radford on 7 Jan. 2009
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
I had high hopes for this movie, and although it kept me entertained, it wasnt as good as I hoped.
The story revolves around a group of soldiers, nicknamed the "Tunnel Rats".
Their job is to enter the vast network of tunnels dug by the Vietcong and clear them out.

Due to the subject of the film, much is filmed as though underground and therefore very dark. This often annoys me on films, and this is no exception. The dark scenes often lack enough tension to pull them off, although there a few moments that draw you back in.

This film isnt one for the weak stomached. Not as gory as some war films, but still has some moments that will turn you green. As mentioned, the research in this film must have been last on the list. The uniforms arent right, the weapons handling leaves some to be desired and the general feel of the film is a bit lazy.

I wont give the ending away, but just to say I dont recall seeing a war film with an ending like this one. Lets just say there is no chance of a sequel!

To summerise. A decent enough watch, but I wouldnt rush out to watch again, plot is very basic, acting is ok but no stand out characters.

4.0 out of 5 starsMuch, much better than you'd think from some reviews
By J. Rottweiller Swinburne on 16 Aug. 2012
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
Since I visited Vietnam a few years ago on holiday I've been fascinated by the Vietnam War (which was raging when I was a youngster, but which I never took much notice of at the time - it was just THERE, on the news every night, in the background, like wallpaper). When I was there I went into, and was astonished by, the tunnels at Cu Chi, and so naturally, when I discovered the existence of this film, I decided to give it a go, despite some decidedly iffy reviews.
Did I make the right decision? Yes, most definitely.

It's not a perfect film, but then it's got the disadvantage of competing against the memory and reputation of "Apocalypse Now" and a whole raft of other films made with bigger budgets and more PR support. One needs to take this into account when judging it.
I think the worst thing about it is the uncertainty of tone which dominates the beginning of the film. There is a fairly amateurish attempt, for the first twenty minutes or so, at establishing character and tone which seems to have little to do with the tunnels in question, and which had me looking at my watch and debating whether or not to write it off and give it to a charity shop. However, after this it picks up. The men of the platoon assigned to deal with the tunnels of Cu Chi come to life once they start descending into the blackness and terror that await them.
The scenes dealing with action in the tunnels are remarkably effective. One gets a real sense of what it must have been like in those dark, cramped, airless tunnels, lit only by the uncertain light of candles or hand-held torches, filled with booby traps, and with the ever-present chance of bumping into the VC at any moment.Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 starsTense & Gruesome... Well worth a watch.
By The Truth TOP 500 REVIEWERVINE VOICE on 23 Feb. 2011
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
Tunnels rats was an extremely tense film that made me jump and cringe in equal measure. Jump as traps were sprung in pitch black tunnels, and cringe as the traps took their terrible, gory, toll. In the end, it's a wonder anyone managed to survive the real life tunnels in vietnam to pass on the horror stories on which this film is based.

Although not a true story, all the events in the film did actually happened. The characters and were made up, but their stories weren't. Everything you see in the film that happens in the tunnels, happened to someone in real life at some point. A nasty thought.

Tunnel rats follows a special unit of the American army, tasked with clearing these warren-like tunnels, and life expectancy in this real life unit was 1 to 2 weeks. It was a certain death sentence more or less, and this film shows us exactly why. The film is aptly named as these poor guys really were like rats trapped in a maze, being picked off at will through a series of crude but deadly traps and clever tunnel architecture.

The film doesn't just concentrate on the American perspective though, and the hell they had to endure down these holes. It shows the war, events and life in the tunnels from the perspective of the Viet Cong too. This was a nice touch and made for and tense ending.

I don't want to talk too much about the film really or give too much away. And in fact there isn't really much to give away as it centres around the team clearing one stretch of tunnels no more than 3 foot wide (but who knows how long as they stretched for miles) - but the system proves to be more than a handful for everyone involved.

This film was a nice little surprise. A hidden gem I'd heard nothing about before.Read more ›

3.0 out of 5 starsAn interesting but flawed film
By T. Chadwick on 2 April 2010
Format: DVD
This is a Canadian film made by a German director filmed in South Africa concerning tunnel operations conducted by the 25th (US) Infantry division during the Vietnam war in Cu Chi province in 1968.

The film raises early on the usual Vietnam war film issue about "the new guy(s)" with liberal values coming into conflict with the reality of war when he/they join(s) a "tunnel rat" unit fighting the brutal subterranean war waged in the Cu Chi tunnel system. However this is not a film which considers whether the Vietnam War was right or wrong, but rather it deals with the narrower issue of whom on either side of the tunnel war would survive it.

As to the military aspects of the film, in so far as the film deals with the concept of underground operations in the Cu Chi tunnel system "the director gets it." The booby traps, punji stick traps, pit falls, water traps, rats, hand to hand fighting, danger of tunnel collapse etc in the tunnels are all portrayed.

In so far as the film attempts to portray iconic Vietnam War airmobility tactics or Vietnam War infantry jungle tactics generally, he does n't. For example, the director portrays a single unarmed Huey carrying replacement troops flying below hill-top level without top cover from a "slick," a "hog" or other air frame while it was being over-watched by the enemy and a forward operating base set in the jungle/bush without any clear perimeter, or a clear field of fire and with jungle cover up to the doors of every tent, sangar and bunker -with foreseeable consequences. Better military history or military tactical research prior to the commencement of filming would have been of benefit in this area.

The actors and actresses in the film are mostly unknown-which is all to the good in this case.Read more ›
