Strangle hold on reality.

Rating: 8/10 (8 August 2000)

This is the movie that sets the standard for the war flicks that followed. This is Oliver Stone's Oscar winning account of a young man's tour of duty near the Cambodian border, circa 1967. Innocence is the first thing to go; pride is what a survivor takes home along with memories that will haunt for a lifetime.
Tom Berenger and Willem DaFoe lead a very good ensemble cast that features Charlie Sheen, Forrest Whitacker, Kevin Dillon and Johnny Depp.
