Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

A gripping, profoundly moving story - - finally a "Vietnam War" movie from an Amerasian perspective! A gut-wrenching and non-sentimental tale of young Amerasian kids just after the fall of Saigon in 1975. Rounded up and subjected to re-education camps, several band together to survive and plot escape. Oscar-Nominated Best Foreign picture in 1995... also known as "Dust of Life". Based on a true story. Unfortunately producer/director Rachid Bouchareb, (known better for the more recent French films, such as Indigenes, 29 Palms, L'humanite, West Beirut, Flanders, and London River) has never widely released this film in the United States so few people have had the opportunity to experience it. Amazing soundtrack and unrelenting plot- line. Powerful!

This movie is also called "Dust of life" in English and was made by Alex Bouchareb in 1994.In 1975, 3 kids decide to escape a reeducation camp in the Vietnamese equatorial forest near Cambodia where the Amerasians are imprisoned, tortured both mentally and physically. Son, the hero is sent in that camp after her mother fails to find his father to send him away to America.Search the web for the title to find more information. You can find the poster of the movie on cineposters dot com.Kind of reminds me of Papillon or the Killing Fields though maybe a notch down in terms of realization... This movie is based on facts from the after war.
