Intense movie about the civil war in Cambodia
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great movie. If you served or in your 60s or 70s this will be a sober reminder of what a brutal struggle that took place.

Excellelant! A must see.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A well made film about a great tragedy inflicted on the Cambodian people , a sad story but true and one which still resonates. For those old enough to remember this it is a painful reminder - not unlike the holocaust or the "long march." An ironic sadness is that Hang Noor was gunned down in L.A. by a Chinese gang less than a dozen years after this film was made.

One of the best war movies made!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I can remember seeing the Killing Fields in theaters in high school and it made a lasting impression on me. The soundtrack is exceptional and the acting is first-rate. The movie is a moving portrait of an enduring friendship and bond between two men despite the scourge of war looming as the back-drop. I highly recommend this true story to anyone seeking a greater knowledge of the aftermath of the Vietnam War in the volatile region in and around Cambodia.

A harrowing tale
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This film documents the rise of the Khmer Rouge through the eyes of a NY Times reporter and his Cambodian liaison. Features dynamite acting, beautiful (and grisly) visuals, and a great score (minus the inclusion of Lennon's dreadful "Imagine" at the end but, hey, nothing's perfect).

Savage and brutal but I couldn't look away
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The first half of the movie is less eventfully, and seems to draw out the bond created between the reporter and his guide. Although The second half was truly incredible and really makes the movie.

A great film finally heads to Blu-ray!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Based on actual events and experiences of those who survived the Khmer Rouge’s house of horrors, Roland Joffé’s The Killing Fields continues to be a visceral and haunting tale. As it was in 1984, much of the film’s emotional impact rests on the shoulders of first-time actor Ngor, who depicts Pran simply, but bravely, as he draws on his own nightmarish fight to survive the Khmer Rouge regime. Viewers should be delighted by the healthy grain levels, solid blacks, and uncompromised contrast. Color is also deep and nicely saturated, looking particularly exceptional during the iconic sunset shot and various views of the jungle. Detail also holds up nicely, resolving fine patterns in skin and fabrics in close ups and maintaining overall definition in wide shots. The soundstage is also impressively wide for a two-channel track, most notable during an early scene involving military helicopters as well with various combat sequences. Warner Home Video turns in a faithful and pleasing presentation for the harrowing tale of The Killing Fields, starring Sam Waterston and the late Haing Ngor. The special features are a bit meager, but the strength of the feature and Ngor’s performance in particular make the title one worthy of collection.
