More than just a War Movie

Rating: 9/10 (20 July 2005)

When I saw this film I thought that it was a movie just about the Vietnam conflict. I was wrong. The film is about how the Vietnamn War affected those who fought in it. It shows how even if you were not killed or wounded you came back a different person. It was truly one of the Best films of the 1970's. It deservingly won 5 Oscars including Best Picture and Best Director. The film also had a incredible cast featuring break through performances from Christopher Walken as Nick, and Meryl Streep as Linda. Also not to mention a Great performance from Robert De Niro as Micheal. Another Performance which is sadly forgotten is that of John Cazale who died shortly after the film was finished. This film is truly an epic and a must see. But beware their are two Russian Roulette scenes in the movie and they are scary as hell.
