You don't need drugs to get the point: Something made us smart(er)!

Rating: 10/10 (13 December 2003)

If you've read the book, or seen the movie a few times, it's an obvious ten. If not, take away a couple of points for being slightly difficult, but then, when should that make us scared of a movie? ;-) I can't be totally objective on this point, however, as I read the book before I saw the movie. But how can you go wrong with the origins of Man's intelligence? Or with the poignancy of the first tool being used to kill, which was brilliantly echoed in the jaunty, yet chilling, dialogue of "Full Metal Jacket?" This guy had a vision as well as a voice. Watch it...Often...
