Ambush (2023) is a war action thriller directed by Mark Burman, set during the Vietnam War. The film focuses on a group of American soldiers tasked with retrieving sensitive intelligence in hostile territory. After their mission goes wrong, the soldiers find themselves ambushed and must fight for survival in a dense jungle filled with enemy forces.

The movie attempts to capture the tension of guerilla warfare, emphasizing the claustrophobic nature of jungle combat and the mental and physical toll it takes on the soldiers. It blends elements of a traditional war film with a more intimate survival story, exploring themes of camaraderie, fear, and the consequences of war.

While Ambush has some gripping action sequences and a solid atmosphere, the film received mixed reviews overall. The performances, particularly from the cast of soldiers, have been noted as competent, though the character development is considered somewhat thin, leaving audiences less emotionally invested in their survival. The plot is fairly straightforward and does not break much new ground in the war genre, but the visuals and sound design succeed in creating an immersive environment.
