Review
The Odd Angry Shot is one of those great little movies that offer an Australian perspective of an occurrence usually shown through US eyes. This time around it is the Vietnam War and our guys fighting it are members of the Special Air Service. Take a look at the cast and you'll see a No.1 line-up and they bring everything you could ask for to the screen. There's action, horror, blood and guts, and - above all - a wicked humour. If you haven't seen it then it is a must to do so.
