Eat your heart out, Full Metal Jacket!

Rating: 10/10 (4 July 2008)

I just saw this and it was by far the best war film I have ever seen. I was a bit worried that Michael J. Fox (whom I've loved for many, many years in his various comedic roles) wasn't going to be all that good in a role like this, but boy was I ever wrong about that. This was without a doubt some of the best acting I've ever seen. Sean Penn was great as the villain too. All around great acting in this film.
As far as the story goes it's engrossing and exciting all the way through with some truly gut-wrenching moments. The writing is every bit as good as Full Metal Jacket, if not even better and the direction is good too.
10/10
