A Movie that Showed Francis Ford Coppola could Direct any Genre,

Rating: 9/10 (26 January 2014)

Apocalypse Now is a fantastic movie with a really well developed storyline with a very talented cast that all deliver outstanding performances.This was Francis Ford Coppolla first big movie after directing the first and second Godfather films,and he really proved that he could make great movies outside of the Godfathers genre,this movie is nothing like it,and while it certainly isn't better,it is a brilliant piece of film and will be remembered for years to come.Martin Sheen delivers an outstanding performance,watching his character mature and deal with all the serious events he was experiencing in this war was very interesting and he put some much heart in to his performance.Although my favourite performance in the movie is without a doubt Marlon Brando,his character dosen't come around till about the last thirty minutes,but it is a really inspired and haunting performance,it really did send a shiver down my spine,which is something I never expected from Brando,and was very impressed.Apocalypse Now is without a must see for all fans of war movies.
A US captain is sent to find and kill an insane war hero who has set up a brutal regime deep on the jungle.
