Plot
Marines in training and then in Vietnam.
Sinekatalog’s take
Two halves: brutal boot camp, then Vietnam. Kubrick's first half, with R. Lee Ermey's drill sergeant, is unforgettable; the second is colder and more fragmented. A bleak look at dehumanisation.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
