Anyone at all familiar with his work immediately started predicting the worst. Boll has built up quite a reputation for himself – and not the kind of reputation most people would want. The problem with that is, if I skipped Boll’s movies because of his reputation like most people seem to do, I would’ve skipped Tunnel Rats and that would’ve been a shame.

Good job, Uwe. You finally made a terrific movie.

Tunnel Rats is everything it needs to be – brutal, honest and unflinching. Ignore the typical deluge of negative reviews that Uwe Boll’s movies usually get. I have a suspicion that those panning Tunnel Rats didn’t even take the time to watch it. That’s sad. They missed out on one of the best movies about the Vietnam war in a long time.

Quick Review: Forget your preconceived notions about Uwe Boll and enjoy Tunnel Rats for the fine film that it is. Well done, Uwe. Well done. Just don’t expect a shiny, happy Hollywood ending as you won’t get one here. This is an honest movie about war and with war, there is rarely a happy ending.
