AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Tayyab Torres Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Loui Blair It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

me-747-86301 Arguably, more money was invested in advertising and promotion than on production. The initial camera work was excruciating to watch, the plot (sic) meandered, the acting was embarrassing and inconsistent; going from poor to dreadful. Almost every aspect was deficient, such as the lighting and camera work. The props were apparently borrowed from the local amateur dramatic society. There was a complete absence of continuity, atmosphere and professionalism.This had the quality of an attempt by cinematography students in their freshman year. The movie style was reminiscent of the Blair Witch Project, without the action.I can not recall watching a worse movie, nor anything close to it. Some investors should be looking to get a refund on this piece of "work". They and the viewing audience were scammed.

Fred North A look at the bottom of the page shows similar movies in genre to this one. Apocalypse Now, All Quiet On The Western Front, The Thin Red Line, Tears Of The Sun & Cross Of Iron are all classic war movies & how this one could even show its face on the same page is a mortal sin. I bought this DVD thinking I was in for a treat & whoever this Tom Konrad guy from Independent Film Quarterly is, who wrote 'A gritty tale of war-torn valor & action set in Vietnam's heart of darkness', what a load of rubbish! I visited their website in order to read Tom Konrads review but couldn't find it. If he has seen the movie & wrote that then he needs to seek other employment. This movie in my humble opinion (and quite a few others by the look of things) is a sham & should never have seen the light of day. A look at the voting pattern as I write this is rather suspicious. On counting the names associated with this movie (note I don't say ACTORS), it adds up to 23. Now 21 people have given this 10 out of 10 & 3 people have given it an 8. I wonder who has been giving it 10. Be honest Joe Black! Undo all those 10's you & your buddies have given this & you are facing the deserved title of worse movie of all time! 53 out of 89 people give this only 1 out of 10 & if there was a zero button I would be pushing that one. So what about the picture itself? What picture? Here we have a bunch of the worse actors in history gathered in a field with a guy who doesn't know how to use a camera, with no script & whatever footage they managed to capture in a few hours was glued together & the outcome is 'When Soldiers Cry'. If I could sue you for selling goods under false pretences I would but I will in fact keep this disaster because I know this will sink to the bottom of the worse 100 movies of all time list & when my movie club friends call round & we discuss what we have seen, I can dig this one out & show them the first 2 minutes (that's all is needed) thus stopping them & everyone they know from being ripped off like I was. Shame On You Joe Black! My advice to you is watch some proper war movies & get rid of that camera. I hear McDonalds are looking for someone to wear the Ronald suit, Go For It!

benpalmer-1 There is nothing I like more than settling into my daily two hour commute with my PSP loaded up with a good movie. This morning was the turn of "When Soldiers Cry". I have since decided to make my own movie called "When Commuters Cry" All I need is a camcorder, a few mates with absolutely no acting talent... whatsoever, no script required we can make that up as we go along. I intend filming it on location at my buddy Jim's back yard. He has a few trees and a river, looks totally like Nam, especially when we use the soft focus setting on the camcorder. I managed to watch only 10 minutes of "When Soldiers Cry" so must admit, I never did find out when they do. I pride myself on the fact that I can stick out pretty much any movie. Hey I am stuck in a metal tube traveling at 60mph, nothing better to do right? Wrong. The first ten minutes of this movie is easily the worst piece of film making I have ever experienced. If anyone, other than Mr Black (And stop voting for your own movie Joe) has seen the full movie, counseling is an option.

camera-shy First off i have to say i never watched the full thing but i saw enough!, If someone ever asks me what the worst movie ever made is i'll now have my answer. I'll assume that whoever made this abomination will be reading this.........what were you thinking?? it looks to me like you woke up one day and thought hey i'll make a movie and then proceeded to make it that same afternoon with whatever was lying around the house. The acting if you can call it that was cringe worthy, where ever you found them you really need to send them back and make them promise never to attempt acting again.By the way actually pointing the camera at the "actors" would be a good idea should you feel the need to terrorize the public with another "movie" Personally I think you should put down the camera and step away before someone gets hurt. You probably feel i'm being harsh and you may be right but i feel it my duty to stop others from being harmed.
