One of the best war movies of all time, great cast and great emotion through the entire film
A very good depiction of the war in Vietnam and how soldiers morals and beliefs were tested against each other throughout the fighting.
Such a good movie. Adagio for Strings was a gorgeous choice for the soundtrack. Ending really hammered the point home.
Definitely one of the best Vietnam war movies of all time. I’d say if you like this watch the deer hunter imo it’s much better
If there ever was a movie that truly shows the brutality of war it is this
Gritty realistic portrayal of the Vietnam war. Well written and directed by Oliver Stone. Good supporting cast.
One of the best Vietnam movies ever. Complete rollercoaster!
An amazing Vietnam war movie that shows that not only the vietnamese were the americans enemy, but also themselves. Amazing acting by Dafoe
War may be understandable, but barbarity is unjustifiable.
Solid antiwar movie from Oliver Stone. Great cast and acting. A must watch for anyone interested about the Vietnam war.
