Review of Alamo Bay

Alamo Bay (1985)
7/10
A unique bit of Texan history
12 September 2016
Warning: Spoilers
I saw this movie several years ago and was quite intrigued bit it, and disturbed by it given the racist attacks depicted against the Vietnamese refugees who wanted to make an honest living in the Land of Opportunity and the Free. The movie was a bit slow moving at times, but still, a bold movie nonetheless.

I'd be fascinated to see a criterion release of Alamo Bay, where the Vietnamese cast reflect upon their role in the movie, along with Ed Harris who pretty underwent a massive makeover in The Firm. He looks nothing like he did in Alamo Bay. I wonder what a reboot of Alamo Bay would look like? A special feature documentary would also be good, interviewing real life participants.
