Pretentious,predictible,and very overrated (POSSIBLE spoiler)

Rating: Null/10 (20 September 2001)

The film revolves around a young soldier (sheen) and his expierences in vietnam. First off, Sheen is a horrible actor,and is so annoying. Berenger and Dafoe are solid but the Good v.s Evil aspects they show are cliched and heavy-handed. And Dafoe's death scene didn't move me,it bothered me. The climactic battle is mostly strong,but it's ruined by the obvious conclusion. 10 MINUTES into the film you already know whats gonna happen. And if any viewer can't see that,then you need a seeing eye dog! You wanna see a truly powerful film,about military and war in general? Try kubrick's (full metal jacket). FMJ, IS BETTER ACTED,BETTER CRAFTED,MORE ORIGINAL,AND IT DOESN'T COP OUT LIKE THIS GARBAGE!!!!!! ** STARS out of ****
