Rating: 2/10 (18 December 2019)

This film was a tear off your head and down your neck tour de CRAP. Kubrik's worst. Oh well, even George Lucas made a real stinker from time to time too. Arguably worse even than A Clockwork Orange. So, the poor fat bootcamp reject after being brutalized by the evil drill instructor, forcibly shunned by his fellows, finally starts doing well in boot camp. But no! The demented psycho killer thing has already set in! So he goes ahead and kills the evil drill instructor anyway. What were you saying, Kubrik? Oh well, at least the crucifix-like glow of the lamps back in camp was artsy fartsy, once again apparently for no good reason, saying nothing, symbolizing nothing. Kubrik must have been working for the Viet Kong on this one. Or maybe the KGB. Marines BAD! War BAD! Prostitution BAD! Propaganda BAD! Drill instructor BAD! Demented psycho killer BAD! This film... BAD! Avoid at all cost!
