10/10 Bethany Cox … Expandįull Metal Jacket is a classic in the genre of war films. All in all, one of Kubrick's best and one of the best war movies you will see. Kubrick's direction as always is superb, as is the acting especially Lee Ermey and Vincent D'Onofrio. I am with those who thinks the first half is better than the second, but that is not to say the second half isn't good, it is more than good, but the first half really was outstanding. The script is very well crafted and does have a sense of realism, while the story is compelling with the transition from the training at the camp to the bombed Vietamnesse city smoothly done. The film looks excellent with skillful cinematography. True, one or two parts may lack tropical realism, but the atmosphere the film creates is extraordinary. Full Metal Jacket is a harrowing, violent and foul-mouthed film, yet it is superbly done. True, one or two parts may lack tropical realism, but the I like Stanley Kubrick, and I love his films, especially 2001, Barry Lyndon, Paths of Glory, Dr Strangelove and this, his penultimate film.

Pretty much every expletive in the English language is used, including frequent use of 'f-k,' as well as racial slurs directed at African Americans, Jews, and Italians, as well as quips by the drill sergeant in which he calls his recruits gay. Right before this, he shoots and kills his drill sergeant. In one of the most disturbing scenes of the movie, a Marine recruit shown constantly making mistakes during boot camp and arousing the intense fury of his drill sergeant becomes mentally and emotionally unstable, sitting on a toilet, putting a rifle into his mouth and pulling the trigger - head shown exploding into a splatter of blood from the bullet.

The movie is unsparing in its portrayal of wartime violence - soldiers get into fire fights, are shot by snipers, and are shown dying slowly on the battlefield. Parents need to know that Full Metal Jacket is a 1987 Stanley Kubrick-directed movie following a Marine's journey into darkness during the Tet Offensive in Vietnam.
