Vincent S @Vin_E_At_The_Movies 3d Watching this as an adult I now realize how dumb these kids are and some are war mongers. When I was a kid, I loved this movie and was cheering for the kid's vs the adults. I still love this movie, and it is tense, very compelling and very well directed. Timothy Hutton is outstanding; George C. Scott is iconic. It is a wild trip watching a young Sean Penn and Tom Cruise before their lives would change drastically. See more Cate T @RT26862537 Jul 29 I was a bit skeptical about watching this when I read the ratings, but after finishing it I can confidently say that this was a really solid film. I liked how it began with an extremely glorified image of the military and war, which slowly grew darker and more convoluted as the film started to question these ideals. Clear-cut boundaries of right and wrong blurred together, the film ending with stunning and tragic commentary on the price of attempting to justify violence, the pitfalls of blind groupthink, and what happens when we refuse to embrace change. Personally, the movie as a whole was sold by outstanding performances by Timothy Hutton, Sean Penn, and Tom Cruise.

Yes, there is some suspension of disbelief that has to occur. See more Reza S @RT35140882 11/26/2024 One of the most repulsive movies I have ever seen. No logic, no sense of empathy for any of the boneheaded juvenile idiots. Interestingly 3 big young names started their careers in such garbage production. I had never wanted a movie character to be eliminated as much as Tim Hutton’s. Not even the possessed girl in The Exorcist or Hanibal Lecter!!!

Timothy Hutton, Tom Cruise and Sean Penn lead the cast and give excellent performances. The immensely talented George C. Scott also does a very good job. There's also a surprise performance from a very young Giancarlo Esposito. The direction is really tight and the script is fantastic. It doesn't necessarily reinvent the wheel but the characters all feel so genuinely human. There's no clear hero or villain because every character is so morally grey and you can see what their intentions are and it's up to the audience to decide who's right or wrong. A really enjoyable drama with some great performances. I'd recommend it to anyone. See more Read all reviews
