A superb ensemble cast falls in for action in Stanley Kubrick's brilliant saga about the Vietnam War and the dehumanizing process that turns people into trained killer. Joker, Animal Mother, Gomer, Eightball, Cowboy and more - all are plunged into a boot-camp hell pitbulled by a leatherlung D.I. Who views the would-be devil dogs as grunts, maggots or something less. The Action is savage, the story unsparing, the dialogue spiked with scathing humor. Full Metal Jacket, from its rigors of basic training to its nightmare of combat in Hue City, scores a cinematic direct hit.

A killer film! - 4.5 out of 5 (8/27/2000)
"Full Metal Jacket" is a film I remember well. I recalled this later watching it again recently and remembering what I had taken so long to forget before.
The scene with Vincent D'Onofrio sitting in the lavatory with the assembled gun at his feet is a sight that one doesn't easily forget. The power of that scene is that it takes so long to build up and then is over a second.
The film is full of other haunting visuals. This film was always considered one of Kubrick's best and most access

Great film - 4.5 out of 5 (10/15/2000)
Kubrik's Vietnam exploration was regarded, importantly, by veterans as the most accurate film made about Vietnam. Others such as Oliver Stone's silly exploration of a war he knew nothing about, were centered more on excuses to show bloodshed than to demonstrate the experience. Kubrik's movie is not a war movie, it is not an action movie, it is a film about a specific experience that many Americans suffered. I believe he succeeded in creating a haunting, upsetting, but thoroughly thought-provo
