One of Kubrick's finest works.

Rating: 10/10 (24 August 2005)

This film takes you every step of the journey from the brutal and man-breaking training barracks to the jungles and destroyed cities of Vietnam.
Unlike the trap many war films fall into, this masterpiece is not heavily biased towards fighting, but it is a perfectly balanced portrayal of the cruel nature of war. Many techniques illustrate the 'duality of man' - for example the juxtaposed peace badge on Joker's chest and 'Born to Kill' scrawled on his helmet.
With many classic quotes ("You're not even human-f**king-beings!"), and touching moments, this is a film not to miss. 10/10.
