General Note
Being a cop is tough. But in 1968 Saigon, being a cop is crazy. Saigon, 1968: Somone - possibly a high-ranking American officer - is brutally murdering Vietnamese prostitutes with children by American fathers, and plainclothes military cops Sgt. Buck McGriff (Wilem Dafoe) and Sgt. Albaby Perkins (Gregory Hines) are put on the case that no one wants solved. But things are never what they seem in the 'Nam, inculding a novice nun (Amanda Pays), a deranged Colonel (Scott Glenn) and a twisted trail of clues that takes McGriff and Perkins from back alleys to battlefields in search of a serial killer who's ready to make them the next victims. Fighting incredible odds, placed in impossible situations, can they solve the case before they lose their sanity or their lives?
