In Vietnam, the wind doesn't blow. It sucks.
1987 · 1h 57m · R
Drama, War
Directed by
Stanley Kubrick
A pragmatic U.S. Marine observes the dehumanizing effects the U.S.-Vietnam War has on his fellow recruits from their brutal boot camp training to the bloody street fighting in Hue.
Top critics, in their words
If his considerable achievement in this long- awaited film falls short of his Olympian standards, there is a reason that ought to give Kubrick some satisfaction. The world has caught up with Kubrick and what he has to say.
It may seem too spare, too clinical, its moments of war even too familiar for some. But, aiming for minds as well as hearts, Kubrick hits his target squarely.
What gives this story its power is not really its originality, but the relentlessness of Kubrick's black-comic vision and the tightness of his focus.
There is a real fear at the heart of this monstrously armored, desperately defensive film.
It's a great piece of filmmaking, diminished only by a second act that fails to live up to the first act of the Marines in training.
