Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Tailor-made for anyone who likes knowing it really happened and war-film fans. Based on real events, so expect to go down a research rabbit hole afterwards.
The mood
Intense.
The pace
Lets scenes breathe, at 1 hr 31 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in another language, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1966: an older pace and style.
  • Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

The film follows the life of Nguyễn Văn Trỗi from shortly before he was caught for his attempted assassination of McNamara to his eventual execution, leaving behind his newlywed and others around the couple.
