Review of Platoon (1986) by Sumit S — 07 Nov 2012
A grim, realistic look at the ugliness of war & how Vietnam affected the psych & morals of even the bravest, Platoon is a stunning piece of work by Oliver Stone who penned in his own experiences into the script & let an ensemble cast of Charlie Sheen, Willem Dafoe, Tom Berenger, Forest Whitaker, Johnny Depp etc take it to new heights.
Performances by Charlie Sheen & Willem Dafoe stood out the best & the traditional war elements mixed with moral issues, captured with great attention & nice editing, makes Platoon one of the best modern war films of all time.
