Our take
A Vietnam recon team faces prehistoric predators in the jungle. Rated MA 15+ in the UK and MA15+ in Australia for strong bloody violence, gore and coarse language. Gun battles, maulings and graphic creature kills come with military profanity. A hard-R-style war creature feature for older teens, not family viewing.

Story (may spoil tone)
