Review of Born on the Fourth of July (1989) by Cham O — 08 Mar 2013
Whatever problems I have with the blown-out, overlong stature of "Born on the Fourth of July", what really sets apart this movie's war at home and the actual Vietnam war is the awesome show great job of star Tom Cruise, who goes through hell as real-life marine Ron Kovic, whose below-the-belt paralysis overseas is more than enough to make this good boy go bad against the people and government that lied to him.
All guts and no glory. So damn. Good mourning, USA.
