Rating: 9/10 (27 August 2011)

This is a masterpiece of Stanley Kubrick. The way in which the movie progresses from humorous tone to a serious one is simply superb.
The storyline is simple. It is based on the Vietnam war. A young group of recruits are brought into the island to be trained. After the training, they are assigned to different tasks in Vietnam. There should be a special mention about the character of drill instructor Hartman played by R. Lee Ermey.The way in which he executes his role with an absolute élan is simply amazing.
The first part of the movie is the training part which actually is the best part of the movie and then the movie turns more serious and enters the war zone of Vietnam. Though the movie tilts towards boredom in the middle, the director manages to bring it back with a great climax.
There have been quite a few movies about Vietnam war. This definitely comes in top 3 among them ! 9 out of 10 for this !!
