A great gritty wartime epic!

Rating: 8/10 (16 October 2012)

This movie was just outstanding. The acting was great exspecially by the drill sergeant god do I love him. I feel the first half was a bit better then the second half but it was still an awesome movie. It showed the horrors of war and what they go through.
A pragmatic U.S. Marine observes the dehumanizing effects the Vietnam War has on his fellow Marine recruits from their brutal boot camp training to the bloody street fighting set in 1968 in Hue, Vietnam.
This is one of the best war movies of all time everyone should see it. The actors all did such a great job it was very enjoyable. It could have used a bit more action in the second half but the first half was great.
