...it was 2 movies, and the 2nd of the two was a misfire. I really liked the bootcamp story and performances. The whole thing comes apart in Viet Nam, and I don't think shooting at an appropriate location would have saved it. R. Lee Ermey was fantastic, though he was essentially playing himself. He gave Jack Webb, Adolfe Caesar and Burt Lancaster a run for their money as the best tough army sergeant in American film. And D'Onofrio was great too.
