Walken is brilliant

Rating: 7/10 (18 November 1999)

This movie contains some of the most powerful scenes I have ever seen. Although this movie does not concentrate on the war as much as e.g. Saving Private Ryan, I must say that the scenes from Vietnam in this film, the psychological as well as the physical torture, is much more disturbing and awful to me than the whole first half hour of SPR. Very powerful. Robert De Niro is as good as ever, but I have to say that Christopher Walken is the one who impresses me the most. He is absolutely brilliant and managed to really show how Nick (his character in the film) becomes self-destructive in the saddest way. Magnificent!
