Watched films in 2023 (158 movies items)"3.7. C More Uusintakatselu. Brian De Palman Vietnam-elokuva ei aina vakuuta hyvän (muttei täydellisen, yhyy) yksilön ja moraalinsa menettäneen joukon puinnissa, mutta jotenkin mystisesti tämä epätasapaino tuo jonkun kiinnostavan ulottuvuuden lisää sodan mielettömyyden kuvaan. Vasen vasara on paikoin aika raskas, mutta toimiva tarina ja näyttelytyö kantavat varsin hyvin, jolloin tosiaan ne objektiivisesti heikot ratkaisut kerronnassa eivät juuri vaivaa. Sota paha. Amerikka paha. Ar"

Kersantti Tony Meserven (Sean Penn) johdolla vietnamilainen nainen raiskataan ja lopulta ammutaan seulaksi. Max Eriksson (Michael J. Fox) kieltäytyy osallistumasta raakuuksiin ja raiskaukseen. Tästä syystä muu komppania vihaa häntä. Vihan liekki leimahtaa väkevämmäksi, kun Eriksson on valmis todistamaan sotaoikeudenkäynnissä kavereitaan vastaan. Ennio Mo"

Movies Viewed in 2018 (361 movies items)"Brian De Palma's tough Vietnam drama has Michael J. Fox as a soldier assigned under bullish Sean Penn, who kidnaps a Vietnamese girl in order to rape her while on patrol. This is possibly DePalma's most straight-forward film, lacking any of his usual cinematic flairs, instead of telling this horrific tale without anything flashy. The performances, especially from Fox and Penn are exceptional. A hard film to watch and one of the underrated Vietnam dramas that came out of the 80's."
