Charlie Sheen was very good

Rating: 9/10 (25 January 2005)

Sheen played Taylor so well, he was a young curious soldier who was naive to the reality of war. I don't know why he is being bashed for his acting. He played the part just the way it should have been played. He became Chris Taylor just like the other actors became the characters that they played. Platoon has a brilliant cast in my opinion and deserves all the praise for being one of the greatest war movies of all time. It told it straight forward with little "Hollywood influence", except of course the scene with Willem Dafoe continuing to run from the VC after being shot several times as the helicopter circles above. Overall, a brilliant movie... One of my favorites.
