Awesome Accurate and Balanced

Rating: 9/10 (30 January 2006)

Since Apacalypse now this is the best Vietnam movie. It shows the horrors of war (indiscriminate killings of farmers in the fields) from a soldiers prospective. The first half hour is probably the most hilarious half hour involving how new recruits are trained in to killers.
It is a master piece that I would recommend every movie buff.
The Vietnamese prostitutes with lines of "Me so horny", "Me love you long time" are just the classic lines that will live for a long time in movie history.
With media and army trying to suppress the true picture / horror of wars, this movie is a breath of fresh air in the democratic world, where the ordinary people are feed propaganda each day.
Brave and quality effort from Stanley.
