A squad of National Guards on an isolated weekend exercise in the Louisiana swamp must fight for their lives when they anger local Cajuns by stealing their canoes. Without live ammunition and in a strange country, their experience begins to mirror the Vietnam experience.

It’s not a very good at being a war movie and it’s not a very scary slasher/thriller but the zydeco finale ruled really hard
It needed more Cajun shit!!

Couldn’t care about most of it but that last fifteen minutes is pretty intense.
