Review of Full Metal Jacket (1987) by Alex A — 20 Jun 2014
Full Metal Jacket is a haunting, realistic and involving war thriller directed by Stanley Kubrick. While I found the second half entertaining, it wasn't as engaging, interesting or smoothly paced as the first half in my opinion.
Nonetheless, Full Metal Jacket strongly succeeds as a deep meditation on the military's inhumane process of transforming human being's into living, breathing killing machines with excellent performances, dialogue and characters under its belt.
Kubrick's meticulousness definitely shined on screen here.
