Synopsis:
A look at U.S. Marine life through the eyes of a marine.

Review:
This is one of the greatest war movies ever. Hands down no bullshit. The beginning of this movie has so much power in it. It gets you revved up for the rest of the movie. The second half of the film does slow down a bit. But that’s not to say it sucks.

The acting in the movie was great. The characters seemed very real and believable. It was a fucked up time and place, and Kubrick does a great job capturing that on film. My favourite character in the film has got to be the Drill Instructor. He is one hell of a bad ass, with some of the best lines, that he put together himself.

Kubrick picked this crazy mofo to be a military consultant for the film. So he made a tape on how to be a drill instructor. He screamed at the camera for 15 minutes never repeating himself and didn’t even blink once while been pelted with tennis balls and oranges. Now I don’t know about you, but that’s some fucked up repugnant shit!

Special Features :
Well fuck me. The only thing on this disc is a theatrical trailer. Now normally this wouldn’t piss me off, but it was part of the kubrick collection. You’d think if your going to throw down 200 bucks for a set some one would put a couple of extras in it. But no, nothing of the sort in here. That fucking blows donkey cock.

Video:
The transfer was done up with class. There is on signs of compression defects and the picture is clean all the way through. The only thing that I have a gripe about is that the movie is pan and scan. What the deal yo? This disc had a lot of potential but it loses points on that call.

Audio:
The audio was great in this movie. I really love how the sniper scene sounds with the crazy music in the background. The sound comes through fine, although I found it tended to fluctuate a tad too much. Some scenes were too loud and other were too quiet.

“Well are you? Then quit, you slimy, fucking walrus-looking piece of shit! Get the fuck off of my obstacle! Get the fuck down off of my obstacle! Now, Move it! I'm going to rip your balls off so you can not contaminate the rest of the world. I will motivate you, Private Pyle, if it short-dicks every cannibal on the Congo” - Lee Ermey
