Epic war movie submitted by brooksza on August 15, 2022, 11:47am Unflinching and horrifying. There isn't much of a story but we're watching the hell that is war. The image of Chris at the beginning vs Chris at the end was impactful.

Incredible submitted by RebeccaWittekindt on July 17, 2023, 3:49pm A harrowing look into the insanity of the Vietnam War. Probably Charlie Sheen’s best work. Dafoe was amazing as a more kind soul while Berenger was equally engaging as a more malevolent force.
