Ambush (2023) Full Movie Review

Jonathan Rhys Meyers and Aaron Eckhart, the prominent stars of this budget-conscious Vietnam War action film, seem to have secured easy roles. Above ground, Meyers plays an elite tracker, and Eckhart portrays a no-nonsense general. In contrast, Connor Paolo spends most of the film navigating the Củ Chi tunnel system, possibly requiring a chiropractor due to the demanding physicality of the role.

Paolo takes on the character of US army engineer Ackermann, tasked with retrieving a stolen classified binder containing the names of south Vietnamese operatives undercover in the north. With a limited time frame, he must navigate punji stake traps in the tunnel system. Unbeknownst to him, General Drummond (Eckhart) plans to destroy the entire complex, including the sensitive intel. Meanwhile, Miller (Rhys Meyers) and other special forces patrol the forest to ensure the safety of the “tunnel rats.”

Ambush appears to be set during the Vietcong annual picnic, as Rhys Meyers, who contributes much of the film’s cool and ruefulness, has a limited role beyond providing “soulful veteran musings,” a cliché element of Vietnam War narratives. The film relies heavily on familiar tropes, including profanity-screaming superiors, greenhorn squad leaders, and frazzled grunts entering the moral heart of darkness. It’s disappointing that director Mark Burman, along with two other writers, delivered a film that handles these clichés perfunctorily.

Burman’s direction falls short, presenting the underground binder hunt in a manner reminiscent of a prolonged episode of The Crystal Maze, lacking the expected claustrophobic intensity. The film concludes with an ending that, despite Ackermann’s suspicion of expendability, allows the higher-ups to escape with clichéd sentiments: “Their blood is in the Earth. They will live forever.” The film adheres to the standard formula but lacks specificity, resulting in a dispiritingly vague resolution.
