Out of 182 minutes i was present for the first 60 and the last 60. I missed some important plot points that might have been vital to formulating opinion. But i did catch the Russian roulette scenes. These were significant in a couple of ways. It forced a man to kill himself and after the Vietnamese broke their will, they placed bets on it. This was most certainly psychologically disturbing for the soldiers. So much so that Christopher Walken's character kept playing the game for money in underground lobbies after he was discharged, it led to his death. Michael held him head as tomato paste squirted out of it like a pin-hole, must have been a low caliber hand gun... Michael suffered severe PTSD, which is not surprising, a fair amount of soldiers do.
