In Country Vietnam is explored yet again, through the flashbacks of a madman and the diary of a dead man.

Plot High school graduate Samaritan (Lloyd), estranged from her mother (Allen), is looked after by “traumatised” Viet-vet uncle Emmett (Willis). She longs to find out more about her dead father, who was killed in action, whilst he plays Pacman and slowly goes crazy. Verdict Comparable to The Deer Hunter only in that it's relentless mundanity might inspire a game of Russian Roulette.
