Great movie about the Vietnam war

Rating: 9/10 (3 November 2007)

Rated R for Graphic War Violence,Language and Drug Use.
After hearing a lot about it, I watched the film "Platoon" yesterday on MoviePix.I usually enjoy war films yet there are plenty of war films considered classics that I have not seen such as Apocalypse Now or The Deer Hunter.I personally think the film "Three Kings" is the greatest war film of all time.This is either the second or third best war film ever(Saving Private Ryan was great as well so Im not sure if this would be second or third).The film has a great cast which consists of Charlie Sheen,Tom Beregner,Wilem Dafoe,Forest Whitaker,Keith David,Kevin Dillon and the doctor from the TV series Scrubs.Charlie Sheen is the main character and is said to be a rich kid who dropped out of college to volunteer to fight in the war.While he's there, he meets plenty of people who introduce him to marijuana.The film basically shows the Vietnam war and how it was like.From what I heard, its a realistic account.Anyway, if you like war films, check out Platoon, you wont be disappointed.
