Great movie

Rating: 10/10 (19 June 2016)

Greetings from Lithuania.
"Platoon" (1986) is without a doubt Oliver Stone's best film. It's easily the most accurate Vietnam War movie ever made, and one of a few best.
Fighting sequences are done in a way like you are always in the center of fight, rather just watching it from outside. There are many good actors here, and all of them did a great job. Directing is also terrific - it's definitely directors most straightforward movie, without all the fancy or stylized editing - it's just a great film making on all accounts.
Overall, "Platoon" is a great war movie and one the few best in it's genre. Craftmenship is terrific - once seen this movie is impossible to forget one. A true classic.
