Ordinary Heroes, directed in 1986—though the director seems to be a shadow—captures the raw, emotional turmoil of love and loss against the backdrop of the Vietnam War. The pacing can be a bit uneven, but it’s that very inconsistency that mirrors the chaotic experiences of the soldiers. The performances, particularly of the lead, convey a haunting honesty that stays with you. It's not just a war film; it digs into the psychological scars that linger long after the fighting stops. The practical effects help ground the war scenes, adding a gritty realism that contrasts sharply with the tender moments of romance. It’s a blend of heartache and resilience, making it stand out in the genre.
