Review of Full Metal Jacket (1987) by Franzhcritic — 19 Feb 2016
A two section war drama by the master of film Stanley Kubrick. The first part is chalk full of Kubrick's dark humour, which then quickly turns to something more sinister than I ever could have thought of (great chemistry between R.
Lee Ermey and Vincent D'Onofrio). The second half, a Vietnam combat field, something I have seen many times before but Kubrick successfully combines brooding humour, tense battle scenes, and tragic drama.
It's not my favourite Kubrick film, but it's certainly up there in war films.
