Great Vietnam Film

Rating: 9/10 (25 February 2020)

FULL METAL JACKET was a great movie when it came out, and it has only gotten better with age. Everyone has their own opinions about Vietnam and the war there, but none of that matters here. It's just a gruesome look at one man's struggle to survive.
The movie is violent, it is bloody, and it is great fun. There are many wonderful moments and tons of quotable lines. I understand that not everyone liked this movie when it first came out, but I would find it hard to believe that people still feel that way all these decades later. It's great! Highly Recommend.
