A true masterpiece that makes you feel war's true horror.

Rating: Null/10 (2 June 1999)

Full Metal Jacket is a masterpiece of film. Nowhere else can you be sucked into the horror of war in such a way. The first part, set in a marine boot camp island in South Carolina, shows the transformation of a seemingly pacifistic private into a freakish killing machine.
The second part, set in Vietnam, tears the viewer apart. The soldiers and their experience are not at all presented in a melodramatic manner. There is nothing but realism in the portrayal of the war.
This truly is the greatest war film ever made, one that should be viewed by anyone who cares about man's inhumanity to man.
