Great Movie

Rating: 10/10 (18 January 2003)

Full Metal Jacket is definitely one of Kubrick's best. It portrays the dark comedy that was present in the days of Vietnam in a way most other Vietnam films barely hint at. Although quite funny in its own way, Full Metal Jacket is still quite poignant and does a great job of making the audience feel for the soldiers and the ordeals they must face, like being baited with an injured friend's suffering at the hands of a sniper and not being able to guess the amount of enemy troops that await you and your friends around the next corner.
