White Ghost

About This Movie

So, 'White Ghost' from 1988, yeah? It's this action flick that brings you right back to the gritty Vietnam era. The pacing has this kind of almost dreamy quality, jumping between past and present as we follow Lt. Steve Shepard, who's gone MIA. Fifteen years gone, and the guy's still in the jungle – kind of haunting, really. The atmosphere is thick with tension and nostalgia, and the practical effects, while not groundbreaking, do add this realness to the combat scenes. Performances are solid, particularly the lead; you can feel his struggle. It’s not your typical war film. It has a certain raw edge that makes it stand out among other Vietnam narratives from the time.
