The story of soldiers from bootcamp to Vietnam depicted in a realistic and fictional story. Private Joker is followed through his journey of field reporting and eventually become a real soldier forced to kill or be killed. After surviving the toughest Sergeant, Joker is ready for almost anything.

This is one of the best war dramas that has ever been made. I love this film because of its almost realistic portrayal. Stanley Kubrick is one of the greatest film directors/minds that has ever lived, may he rest in peace.

Rating: 5 of 5 stars
