Brief and bracing, tragic yet darkly funny, The Odd Angry Shot is an
award-winning commentary on Vietnam, following a close-knit group of
knockabout SAS fighters: their friendships, homesickness and fears;
their practical jokes, drinking and fighting. Chronicling their
experiences over one year, we learn that their enemy is not just the
Vietcong, but their superiors, the mud and torrential rain, and boredom.
It is a reflective and brutal account of how war damages not only
physically but psychologically, as soldiers readjust to home life.
