Stanley Kubrick's Vietnam War drama is an odd duck that is really a mashup of two different movies. One is a dark haunting psychological thriller while the other is a wacky black comedy Both happen to feature Vietnam and both are true to Kubrick's style. But the first half is better and the second half doesn't ever fully measure up. Vincent D'Onofrio and R. Lee Ermey are as memorable as expected and the rest of the cast doesn't stand out aside from Adam Baldwin playing a gung-ho racist bumpkin.
