Possibly the greatest depiction of war ever.

Rating: 10/10 (4 March 2002)

The action of Full Metal Jacket and the strong emotion of Platoon, yet it hits you in a different way. You can compare it to other war movies but it was very much a unique film. Maybe it affects me in a deeper way because these things happened within the time that I have been alive, but I think you'd be lying if you said it didn't leave an everlasting nick in your heart. The bond between the men in this movie is so powerful you almost feel like you are one of them, and when something happens to one of them you feel like it was one of your men. Action, emotion, and excellent acting make this movie one of my top 10.
