Joel Schumacher did the "what if Full Metal Jacket only had the first half". Could have been worse, but the artistic decisions (highly granulated film) made the movie more interesting.

A film that no one really has on their radar and I only discovered it by chance. We get Vietnam war vibes without being in Vietnam. Boot camp and young soldiers on their way to hell on earth. Comradeship, friendship and more than you expect.
