Review of The Boys in Company C (1978) by Dave R — 27 Dec 2009

I suppose this movie deserves some credit for being one of the first to try and portray the vietnam war realistically on the big screen. I saw this as kid and it made an impression on me. 30 years later I just found it to be a somewhat inferior version of "full metal jacket" - even though this movie came out 9 years before it; they are very similar in many ways - even sharing a star: r.lee ermey!

You're better off watching "full metal jacket" though.
