Madness

Rating: 9/10 (14 January 2000)

This movie could have been made in Cape-Town and it would still have the same effect. Making it in a war situation just gave it that edge. Everybody is stark raving mad. From Marlon Brando to Harrison Ford. Martin Sheen decides that, in this one part, he does not want to be in a cage with a human head. So he just gets out. It is brilliant. Not so much anti-war but just the brutal side of the human. Not as brutal as Saving Private Ryan but it was made in 1998, not 1979. It's message is clear.
