Not enough kind words...

Rating: 10/10 (10 October 1999)

The first half is great, and the second half... just as great. It changes tone halfway through the movie and that's what I love about it. It's like two movies in one. The first half about the brutality of training, and the second half about the absurdity of the vietnam war. All shot without the need or use of jungle warfare scenes. It also has some of the most memorable dialogue ever written. A classic.
