One of the best war - adventure films of all time

Rating: 10/10 (7 October 2005)

This is one of my favorite movies. I'm talking about the ''Redux'' but I liked Coppola's original as well but the "Redux" tells you a little more about the journey and gets you deep into the Vietnam War. The "Redux" is a more colorful version of the original. Vittorio Storaro's photography is the best photography than any other films photography's. This is more of an adventure than a war film. The film is like based on the song "The End" by 'The Doors'.
The film stars Martin Sheen as Captain Willard, a special agent who has been hired by the government to find and kill one of there own officers named Colonel Kurtz (unbelievably portrayed by Marlon Brando) who has gone insane by killing people with his tribe up the river in Cambodia. He now has to go along with a boat crew called PBR Street Gang (The Gang: Frederic Forrest, Albert Hall, Sam Bottoms, young Laurence Fishburne) and gets involved with some very strange encounters along the way. When he finds Brando, is cerebral and murky. The ending sequence is really heavy. Still, this is a great movie experience. Do not miss it.
