I like this movie better than Coming Home and equal to The Deer Hunter. The director really got the confusion of these vets and the times right. Nolte starts to build a fantasy life around Weld and Weld starts demanding no more guns in the middle of a gunfight to the death. I think she kind of represented the peace movement. Nolte was able to project tragic force and Richard Mazur showed what a truly under rated actor he was. Moriarity and Weld were good playing their kooky parts. Haid was excellent as the L. A. Hustler. Nolte's character was just plain tired of games. I love the quote about not ever being ordered around by morons again. Sounded just like every Vietnam vet I knew.
