First Half: 9/10, Second Half:5.5/10 Overall:...

Rating: Null/10 (27 September 2001)

I had already seen The Shining and A Clockwork Orange, so I thought i'd give this movie a shot. Now usually I don't care for war movies, but I didn't care at the time. Did I like it as much as I wanted? Read on.
!!!POSSIBLE SPOILERS!!!The first half of this film has our main charecters going through their basic training. The ones who make it go on into the second half. The second half is during the Vietnam war where we again meet some of the main charecters and some new ones.
Now the first half was awesome, but then there was the second half. It feels like they wrote it quickly and through in a few good scenes to make it kinda bearable. Sadly it really hurts the movie, but doesn't keep it from being good.
Good story, acting, and effects. *** out of *****.
