Platoon

Yojimbo - wrote on 06/25/12

A more human telling of the Vietnam experience than it's bleakly factual contemporary Full Metal Jacket, this film is almost scuppered by the gimmicky casting of Charlie Sheen in the lead role. The strong supporting cast make up for his obvious shortcomings as a serious actor however. Watch out for a young Johnny Depp as Lerner.
