Ever since his remarkable performance in Steven Spielberg's Empire of the Sunearly in his career, Christian Bale has been no stranger to the war genre. Throughout his decorated career, the chameleon-like Oscar winner has given memorable turns in Captain Corelli's Mandolin about WWI, The Flowers of War about the Second Sino-Japanese War, and The Promise about the Armenian Genocide. However, none surpass Bale's harrowing Vietnam War movie based on an unfathomable true story.
