Full Metal Jacket (Deluxe Widescreen Edition) - Region 1 DVD

A superb ensemble falls in for Stanley Kubrick's brilliant saga about the Vietnam War and the dehumanizing process that turns people into trained killers. Joker (Matthew Modine), Animal Mother (Adam Baldwin), Gomer (Vincent D'Onofrio), Eightball (Dorian Harewood), Cowboy (Arliss Howard)and more experience boot-camp hell pitbulled by a leatherlung D.I. (Lee Ermey) viewing would-be devil dogs as grunts, maggots or something less. The action is savage, the story unsparing, the dialogue spiked with scathing humor. From basic training rigors to Hue City combat nightmare. Full Metal Jacket scores a cinematic direct hit.
