Another Great Vietnam Film

Rating: 9/10 (25 February 2020)

If you thought FULL METAL JACKET gave us a unique look at the Vietnam War, think again! APOCALYPSE NOW isn't even a war film in a lot of ways, being more of a horror/thriller. But there are enough great shots of war and its effects that it should undeniably be classified as such. Still, it is a very unique kind of war film.
The character development here is some of the best I've seen in any film of any kind. It is obvious that some true magic happened in the making of this film. Everyone knew exactly what they were doing, from the actors to the director and everyone in between. All that combined with a little bit of luck led to this wonderful masterpiece. Highly recommend.
