Review of Full Metal Jacket (1987) by Kyle R — 17 Jul 2014
A dark and tense look at the US Marines and their involvement in Vietnam. The film certainly communicates its themes clearly and strongly. However, the film doesn't really deviate too far from any of the standard war-type movies.
Like all Kubrick films, the story was told effectively, the acting was strong, and the sets were excellent.
