A quite powerful film

Rating: 9/10 (15 December 2018)

A quite powerful film. Kubrick films always hold one's interest, and he usually has something to say beyond mere entertainment. R. Lee Ermey was fantastic as the drill instructor. I've never seen him in any other dramatic role, so this performance sort of defines him. Matthew Modine and Vincent D'Onofrio put in their best career performances by far, as did Adam Baldwin. The rest of the cast is fairly obscure, but there was never a false note throughout.
