Ambush Review: A Muddled Account of the Vietnam War

A forward operating base on the front lines of the Vietnam War comes under attack while protecting top-secret intelligence. Ambush, inspired by a true story, tells of the deadly mission to retrieve the stolen docs from the Vietcong in a labyrinthine maze of underground tunnels. The film vacillates between gritty combat, the brotherhood of soldiers, and a labored plot with critical issues. Pacing also becomes a factor during a prolonged and indiscernible subterranean second act. Characters become muddled in confusing settings. A standout performance by the primary protagonist (Connor Paolo) reminds that war is hell and in many cases utterly futile.
