This movie is haunting.

Rating: Null/10 (9 March 1999)

Full Metal Jacket brings a viewer into the world of war that no one ever wants to see. Saving Private Ryan and The Thin Red Line were terrific movies, but could not compare to the mental damage this movie inflicted on a viewer. Kubrick showed that a sock filled with soap could hurt as much as a bullet in the head. You had no idea that war could be presented in such a traumatic vision ; without alluding to any reason.
