My favorite picture

Rating: 10/10 (11 January 2006)

I've seen this movie at least 20 times and still I find new and interesting details every time. The acting by Martin Sheen is superb; especially the very intense beginning where you see him in his hotel room. I don't understand why he hasn't been given an Oscar for this performance. The story is very thrilling and captivates the imagination so that you can really feel the heat, hear the sounds and even smell as if you were there yourself. This movie is not at all nice and easy to watch but is well worth the effort of giving it a couple of hours. If you have the chance, I would advise you to go and see it in a proper theater. Again in the very beginning of the film you then cannot help but be captivated by the best combination of sound (the song The End by The Doors ) and cinema I've ever encountered. I hope that in seeing this movie you'll have a great experience.
The storyline: Captain Willard is sent on a mission by the US army in the Vietnam war to terminate the command of a Colonel gone insane.
