Developing a persona for war.

Rating: 8/10 (9 August 2000)

This is Stanley Kubrick's vivid and harsh portrait of the Viet Nam War, as seen through the eyes of soldiers, trained to change their attitudes and twist their moral fibers in reluctantly fighting a complex war. Basic training to the battlefield, your only choices are survive or die trying. This movie's realism rivals that of PLATOON.
Outstanding cast includes Matthew Modine, R. Lee Ermey, Vincent D'Onofrio, Arliss Howard, Ed O'Ross, Adam Baldwin and Kevyn Major Howard.
This movie can be very riveting and agonizing; but for sure, it is one you will have trouble forgetting.
