Brilliant Cinematography...

Rating: 8/10 (4 March 1999)

The cinematography is top notch, as is the sound, but the movie itself is uneven, dull at times and too long. Sheen is exciting as Willard. Brando is dull...dull...DULL! I wonder if he read the book "Heart of Darkness." Duvall is off the wall crazy, while Hopper...Hopper is just high!
The film has moments of excitement, but they are all matters of cinematography, such as the beginning of the film. Other than that, this is a film that should have went to the editing room and stayed there.
