The Plot…

1968.  Viet Nam.  A squad of Green Berets has gone missing while on a mission deep in the jungle.  The Vulture Squad led by Sergeant Ryan Baker, second-in-command Sergeant Xavier Wise, snipers Keyes and Stovall as well as soldiers Verne, Taylor and Miller are sent in to find the missing Berets.

What they find instead seems impossible.  Dinosaurs.  Living, breathing and very hungry dinosaurs.

This mission won’t be a walk in the park.

Thoughts (beware of spoilers)…

Primitive War is based on a self-published book by Ethan Pettus.

Soldiers vs dinosaurs, cowboys vs dinosaurs, heck anyone vs dinosaurs should be fun.  Primitive War is good, but I was hoping for better.  Still, it’s not a bad way to spend a couple of hours.

Primitive War (2025) rates 3 of 5 stars.
