Review of Platoon (1986) by Karl.. 1 — 06 Aug 2011
A classic film about one of the U.S.A.'s most controversial wars. Many stories were told about how soldiers questioned their own involvement in such a war, and this is evident here. This, along with Full Metal Jacket, help you see the ugliness of war - what you DON'T usually see in documentaries or on the news, and how it affects man, no matter what side they are on.
Career performances from Willem Dafoe, Charlie Sheen, and Tom Berenger. It has Forest Whitaker, John C. McGinley, and Johnny Depp in their early days too! A must-see for fans of any war-movie.
