Epic, tragic and powerful.

Rating: 10/10 (28 December 1998)

Oliver Stone's film about Vietnam veteran Ron Kovic is an epic story. Tom Cruise does a wonderful job, playing this man, probably his best role ever. Although the first 30 minutes are a bit overlong, the horror and the pain the man goes through the rest hour and 45 minutes are among the best I've seen. Oliver Stone depicts the 70's greatly. The picture is really full of symbols. John Williams sweeping score is absolutely among his best. Although I'm not American, this is a very important film for any American. Anti-War at it's best.
