This is an often brutal and emotionally captivating portrait of wartorn Cambodia. It approaches war from an interesting perspective and features an astonishing supporting performance by non-actor Haing S. Ngor. It's often tough to watch, but ends on a very moving note.

This movie is extremely hard to follow. But, I got the gist of it. And, since it's an anti-war movie, I can dig it.

A film about the Killing fields in Cambodia is actually not really about it precisely because they merely make an appearance. It is actually more of the case of one person in Cambodia at the time of the incident. It is a good film that takes you to the place, and lets you know the fear adn the struggle Dirth Pran faced. Although you never really saw the two main characters that friendly together until they needed to be which is really the films only flaw.

Based on the the real life experiences of Dith Pran during the Cambodian civil war. Haing S. Ngor who played Pran won an academy award for Best Supporting Actor for this role. The last scene in the movie made me cry (and that is no easy feat).
