Dark on a whole other level

Rating: 8/10 (8 September 2019)

Without giving away too much, this film is just as gritty as saving private Ryan when it comes to wartime conflict, but the situations that characters get into are dark and quite different to anything else.
The film is not constant action and bloodshed, instead opting to make subject matter what makes it work so well. Don't get me wrong, any gunfights are well choreographed.
Full metal jacket is by no means generic as it sets itself apart by showing off two realities of being a marine in Vietnam, and certain events that come with it.
