Best War Movie ever made

Rating: 10/10 (10 March 2002)

***SPOILERS*** ***SPOILERS*** Without doubt this has to be the best war movie ever made forget Full Metal Jacket and Apocalypse Now,this is the one.Everything about this film from the Action, Fighting between themselves and the Music is exellent,it doesnt give any reasons why the US lost the Vietnam War(it not supposed to)but it does show what it was like and how it was the closest thing to hell on earth."SPOILER ALERT" The last 15-20 minutes of this film are probably the greatest Battle scenes ever!All the characters that we had come to know even though they only had small parts(The Coward Lieutenant,The Medic, Bunny)all get wiped out in a massive assault by the NVA, even Oliver Stone gets killed!!!One of my favourite parts of that was when The Lieutenant says" We have been overrun, we are pulling back" And the Captain replies " Godammit where you gonna pull back too!!,You will stand and fight and i mean YOU Lieutentant" The Part where SGT O'Neil hides underneath the Body of a fellow soldier and survives the whole Battle. In the end though i thought that Tom Berenger stole this film from Charlie Sheen and Willem Dafoe. With his Brilliant portrayal of the near Pyschotic SGT Barnes. 10/10
