Much more than just a war movie
Much more than just a war movie made by the legendary Stanley Kubrick, it goes into the deepness of the Vietnam war but also it was made buy Kubrick so really its not for the kids

I find this movie to be fairly overrated. It's still pretty good though. The first half of the movie where they are in the training camp is brilliant, whereas the other half when they are actually in NAM isnt all that great. There is plenty of profanity and graphic violence, as well as some sexual material, though it's not too bad.

Ok for 14 plus
Good movie very gory though in one scene a man is sitting on the toilet picks up an M14 an shoots himselt right down the mouth resulting in blood spattering all over the wall next to him. Lots of swearing especially in boot camp.

Loved it. Kubrick's best movie by far. The whole boot camp part of the movie is my personal favorite. R. Lee Ermey is hilarious.
