This was the worst movie ever made about Vietnam,was Mr black born in N.Vietnam? he made our troops look like bumbling idiots! their uniforms were wrong the shoes were wrong,the weapons ,didn't you ever read a book on the subject?he shot everything in 1 acre of land.and those lines through the whole movie to make it look old, please! you should have shot it in 8mm or 35mm and then scratched yourself then it would have looked like a documentary.I saw all the credits at the end of this thing and every one of them was by Joe black! except the cater for food maybe this is what Joe should do, cater. I hope this critique helps you with your future work that is in your mind,take your time, think before you do. You are young learn from your mistakes. Ezekiel

A look at the bottom of the page shows similar movies in genre to this one. Apocalypse Now, All Quiet On The Western Front, The Thin Red Line, Tears Of The Sun & Cross Of Iron are all classic war movies & how this one could even show its face on the same page is a mortal sin. I bought this DVD thinking I was in for a treat & whoever this Tom Konrad guy from Independent Film Quarterly is, who wrote 'A gritty tale of war-torn valor & action set in Vietnam's heart of darkness', what a load of rubbish! I visited their website in order to read Tom Konrads review but couldn't find it. If he has seen the movie & wrote that then he needs to seek other employment. This movie in my humble opinion (and quite a few others by the look of things) is a sham & should never have seen the light of day. A look at the voting pattern as I write this is rather suspicious. On counting the names associated with this movie (note I don't say ACTORS), it adds up to 23. Now 21 people have given this 10 out of 10 & 3 people have given it an 8. I wonder who has been giving it 10. Be honest Joe Black! Undo all those 10's you & your buddies have given this & you are facing the deserved title of worse movie of all time! 53 out of 89 people give this only 1 out of 10 & if there was a zero button I would be pushing that one. So what about the picture itself? What picture? Here we have a bunch of the worse actors in history gathered in a field with a guy who doesn't know how to use a camera, with no script & whatever footage they managed to capture in a few hours was glued together & the outcome is 'When Soldiers Cry'. If I could sue you for selling goods under false pretences I would but I will in fact keep this disaster because I know this will sink to the bottom of the worse 100 movies of all time list & when my movie club friends call round & we discuss what we have seen, I can dig this one out & show them the first 2 minutes (that's all is needed) thus stopping them & everyone they know from being ripped off like I was. Shame On You Joe Black! My advice to you is watch some proper war movies & get rid of that camera. I hear McDonalds are looking for someone to wear the Ronald suit, Go For It!

This movie should be re-branded as a comedy. If anyone tells you they have seen the worse movie ever made, you can always ask them if they have seen 'When Soldiers Cry'? This easily is the worse movie I have ever seen by a long stretch. Most reviewers here only lasted 10 minutes or so... well I watched the whole thing & that took some doing. We have a soap opera here in Ireland called 'Fair City' which has the worse acting in history... well now I know where the rejects from the Fair City auditions go... to Joe Blacks back garden to make a movie. Even the props mans budget only allowed him to go to the pound shop & pick up a couple of plastic guns... it would have made my day if water had come from them when they were fired! Howthis has made it even to DVD is astounding. If someone gives you this for nothing it's too expensive. I ended up laughing at how bad this was & moved the DVD from the War section to the comedy one where it belongs!

First off i have to say i never watched the full thing but i saw enough!, If someone ever asks me what the worst movie ever made is i'll now have my answer. I'll assume that whoever made this abomination will be reading this.........what were you thinking?? it looks to me like you woke up one day and thought hey i'll make a movie and then proceeded to make it that same afternoon with whatever was lying around the house. The acting if you can call it that was cringe worthy, where ever you found them you really need to send them back and make them promise never to attempt acting again.By the way actually pointing the camera at the "actors" would be a good idea should you feel the need to terrorize the public with another "movie" Personally I think you should put down the camera and step away before someone gets hurt. You probably feel i'm being harsh and you may be right but i feel it my duty to stop others from being harmed.
