I love the smell of napalm in the morning

Rating: 6/10 (4 May 2016)

A good war-film should do two things. Firstly, unflinchingly portray the brutalities of war and secondly demonstrate the unshakeable bond that soldiers share with each other. Apocalypse Now ticks both of these boxes. Despite how Robert Duvall has only fifteen minutes of screen time, he is brilliant as a psychotic American colonel. He is by far one of the best parts of the film. Perhaps even better than Marlon Brando. I was very disappointed with Brando's contribution. He had little to no presence and was largely forgettable in his role as the film's antagonist. Also at two and a half hours, the film's pace does drag a little and it gets boring at times.
