Reviews:
“Actually, the premise of the movie is almost a carbon copy of The Breakfast Club, and fans will no doubt spot allusions to many other John Hughes movies in this one, and also Vietnam and army movies of the era get their fair nod. And it’s all made possible by the right eye for yester year’s style and (bad synthie pop) music, and also a reliance on yesterday’s morals, mirrored in some intentionally stilted mono- and dialogues.” [re]Search My Trash
“All in all I thought it was a very clever film. Lots of jokes and jabs at 80s films and even a few references to Apocalypse Now.” Jonathan A Moody, HorrorNews.net
