Viewing Notes
One of the best war films ever made that just happened to come out the same year as Oliver Stone’s Platoon, which overshadowed it.
I’ve watched this movie a number of times and I’m still in awe of the cinematography and the lighting, especially during the final battle scenes with the sniper.
