Incredible war movie

Rating: 9/10 (10 September 2019)

Full Metal Jacket tackles familiar themes but is still an incredible war movie that's darkly comedic, intense, emotional and harrowing. Matthew Modine, Vincent D'Onofrio, Adam Baldwin and Arliss Howard all give incredible performances. R. Lee Ermey is perfect. The pacing is great and Stanley Kubrick's direction is also incredible. The soundtrack is great and the musical score is amazing.
