Masterpiece...

Rating: 9/10 (11 November 1998)

Okay, so I voted it a niner. While voting I couldn't help seeing people, who I doubt ever saw this movie, give it a 1. You people saw it 20 years ago and forget about it? How can one forget seeing M.Sheen in what I think one of his best parts ever? I mean sure there's a whole lot of better 'nam movies but when I saw this (just a couple of weeks ago) it had a great impact on me. Most of the camera-shots could be a role-model for loads of modern films... Anyone see 187 starring Sam l.Jackson? From my point of view it had a lot of similar shots. And any M.Brando fan must confess he really shines in this picture. The back of the video said this movie was awarded some sound-prize but I guess you have to have a good surround-system to experience it (we did!). Superb sound with fantastic shots!!!
