Epic Film of Great Proportions!

Rating: 9/10 (28 October 2010)

This movie is a very powerful movie filled with messages about the Vietnam War. This movie was a classic in 1979 and still is a classic thirty one years later. I heard some reviews about the redux version and how it sucked but I think it did not suck. It was somewhat long, but it was powerful and I was sucked in.
This is about Captain Willard who has been assigned to travel up a river and assassinate the colonel.
The acting is marvelous. I loved the great performances by Martin Sheen, Robert Duvall, Harrison Ford, and of course the great Marlon Brando.
I read that this movie was very tough to film and the cast and crew had to endure hardships. It's amazing that this movie was even released. I definitely have to give them credit for that.
Overall, this is one of the best movies from the 1970's and it will always remain a classic. I rate this film 9/10.
