A great war epic.

Rating: Null/10 (8 October 2000)

This film has it all. Despite my hatred for Oliver Stone following his disgusting characterisation of Jim Morrison in The Doors, I have take my hat off to him this time. Full of action and emotion, Platoon is a milestone in war films. Everything is so perfectly well acted, so perfectly well choreographed, it is simply incredible. If we ever go to war with aliens, sending them a copy of this will soon get rid of the little gits. I advise anyone looking for a powerful, emotional ride to pick this - anyone contemplating suicide or murder will easily change their mind after viewing this. Now, go watch it. Now. Go go...
