A disturbing War Film that deserves the praise it gets *Possible Spoilers*

Rating: 10/10 (12 December 2004)

A disturbing war film that deserves the praise it gets. This is one powerful film with many shocking scenes that will give you the chills . the performances are AMAZINGLY good (more on that later). I was actually expecting this to be very overrated but it wasn't at all and i enjoyed it very much even if it was pretty disturbing. This is a very important viewing for everyone but it's not pretty and hard to watch at times. there is LOTS of graphic violence but not hat much gore. We get some bloody gunshot wounds, TONS and TONS of bloody corpses , a brutal beating with a gun, (and what's said after that had happened is very disturbing). a VERY graphic bloody gunshot wound to the head with blood and brains splattering, and TONS and TONS of very graphic but non bloody gunshot wounds. The acting is Oscar worthy. Charlie Sheen is utterly fantastic and gives an Oscar worthy performance here , he is EXTREMELY likable and did a fantastic job. Tom Berenger is an awesome actor and did awesome here but his character was VERY unlikable. Williem Dafoe is great here as usual i liked him lots. Forest Whitaker and Johnny Depp both do fine with what they have to do and John C. McGinley does okay and Kevin Dillon annoyed me. Overall a classic film that is a required viewing for everyone ***** out of 5 (a true classic)!!!
