Quite boring

Rating: 10/10 (8 June 2012)

3 hours long, the story can be told in a few words: Act 1: A wedding Act 2: Hunting Deer (now the first hour is over !) Act 3: America's nightmare - Vietnam (the rest of the world couldn't care less) Act 4: Coming home Act 5: Going back (searching for Nick, who was driven insane and kills himself playing Russian roulette), the best part of the film. Act 6: The burial
The movie is almost as boring as "Dances with wolves" as it is not able to tell a real story, but at least it has DeNiro and Walken (1 star for each of them). Sorry, but I have to take one star away for Meryl Streep. She was nominated for the Academy award - for this? No wonder she didn't win. Streep played but one role all of her life: Meryl Streep. She doesn't look good, her acting lacks depth, any third-class actress could play that. She is so... average.She really won 3 Oscars ? Wow, mediocrity awards, I guess.
Okay, enough talk about bad actresses. I'll give the star back for Myers' wonderful score. I'd prefer Alan Parker's "Birdy" as a movie about Vietnam veterans and their problems with getting back into the real world.
