4 stars (Very Good) A different Kubrick film, though still pushing the boundaries through graphic war-violence and deep themes of the futility of war. Best performances include the stunning Drill Sgt Hartman played by Ermey. ~Tom H
5 stars (Exceptional) Kubrick delivers a thoughtful and disturbing film which explores the themes of war in ways that have never been matched. Without a doubt the best war film ever made. ~Wizzums
4 stars (Very Good) Intense character play in two parts follows a group of recruits through basic training and to the battlefield. Kubrick pushes the boat out again and succeeds--again. yes; war is hell, especially for those directly involved. ~Anon
