Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 1.5/4 --
It is grimness without redemption, violence without mercy, and it lacks even the cheap cynicism that makes some Hollywood potboilers watchable.

Chicago Sun-Times
Rating: 1/5 --
The overseas setting of this whodunit fails to offset what is basically a lackluster story peopled by unsavory characters.
Spirituality and Practice
Rating: 4/5 --
A noteworthy detective thriller set against a Vietnam war backdrop. Dafoe and Hines investigate a slew of prostitute murders in Saigon.

Rating: C- --
The acting was flat, the story was trite, and the suspense was marginal.

Ozus' World Movie Reviews
It's a film about ordinary people put in unordinary circumstances pressed to extraordinary levels, and the film itself becomes extraordinary by the effort.

There are tensions, which might have been drawn out, but aren't; and the greatest let-down is that the man you think did it, did do it.

Product Description:
At age 50, Bob Hope was getting a bit too long in tooth for frenzied farces like OFF LIMITS, but his surplus of energy makes up for his chronological unsuitability. Hope plays the manager of boxing champ Stanley Clements, who has just received his draft notice. Gangster Marvin Miller strong-arms Hope into enlisting himself to keep tabs on Clements; when the latter is given a medical discharge, poor Hope is stuck in uniform. During training, Hope makes the acquaintance of draftee Mickey Rooney, an aspiring boxer who wants Hope to handle him. There's one obstacle, however: the Mick's aunt doesn't want her nephew to box. Hope promises to talk the "old lady" into his way of thinking, only to discover that Rooney's aunt is the luscious Marilyn Maxwell. Before the climactic bout between Rooney and Clements, Hope and Rooney sign up to be military policemen under the aegis of buffoonish CO Eddie Mayehoff. If Bob Hope looks slightly uncomfortable at times in OFF LIMITS, it is probably because he isn't politely inclined to such upstarts as Mickey Rooney and Eddie Mayehoff getting most of the laughs.
