“A story of people at war with themselves after Vietnam screwed them up…You have the sharply drawn characters, the purity of a brilliantly orchestrated pursuit, and the obsession all the characters feel.”
– Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
“A corking couple-on-the-run adventure pic, given depth in its focus on the personal disarray, the growing governmental corruption, and the effects of that most unpopular, divisive Vietnam war on America.”
– Variety
Director Karel Reisz’s adaptation of Robert Stone’s acclaimed novel, Dog Soldiers (with a screenplay by Stone and Judith Rascoe), Who’ll Stop the Rain (1978) focuses on a trio of Vietnam War casualties: a war correspondent (Michael Moriarty), a merchant marine (Nick Nolte), and the former’s drug-addicted wife (Tuesday Weld).
