It’s impossible to watch this 1986 Vietnam War movie and not sit there in wonder at how young, healthy and talented Charlie Sheen used to be. Even though he’s saddled with one of director Oliver Stone’s more ponderous (and pontificating) scripts, Sheen makes the character of a raw recruit swirling down into madness absolutely believable. Willem Dafoe is a wee bit too fey playing the angelic Sgt. Elias, but Tom Berenger is still scary as hell as the scar-faced Sgt. Barnes. Keep you eyes peeled for an early Johnny Depp performance, especially in the deleted scenes (most of which really deserved to be deleted n the first place).
