Platoon

Tom Berenger, Charlie Sheen, Willem Dafoe

Oliver Stone's cri de coeur stemming from his experience as a grunt in Vietnam.

Outstanding film in all respects. We follow the transformation of Chris everyman from a scared newbie to a cold killer in less than a year. Of course we know that many of these guys came back damaged, broken, haunted by what they had seen and done in country. A thousand plagues on the filthy oligarchy that sent them there for profit...they're profit, not ours.

Great film that will never date, never become stale or irrelevant as long as the current system survives.
