Great Oscar Winning War Movie

Rating: 9/10 (8 November 2019)

Oliver Stone's classic Vietnam war flick may not be as gritty as it once was but it's still edge of your seat stuff. Charlie Sheen plays the new recruit who winds up in the middle of an inter squad squabble that leads him to be tested by his angels and devils. Willem Dafoe and Tom Berenger stand out as two sides of the coin that was the Vietnam war. The action is well staged if a bit clean and some of the atrocities caused by soldiers too long in the jungle is harrowing. Still a great watch.
