Incredibly powerful war movie

Rating: 10/10 (8 January 2020)

Platoon is an incredibly powerful war movie that's extremely intense, harrowing and emotional. Charlie Sheen, Willem Dafoe and Tom Berenger all give incredibly committed and intense performances. The rest of the cast are all great. The pacing is fantastic and Oliver Stone's direction is incredible, crafting some intense and visceral action sequences. The music by Samuel Barber is perfect, powerful and haunting in equal measure and used extremely effectively in multiple scenes.
