8.3 average
Savagely funny drill-sergeant abuse curdles into cold, sickening dread — you leave quoting it and feeling hollow at once.
What it is
A young Marine moves from brutal boot camp, where recruits are stripped of their individuality, to the chaos of urban combat in Vietnam. Through his experiences as both observer and participant, he confronts how military training and war reshape people.
