i have an uncle who commit suicide after serve in vietnam because of mental problem he experience after come back . so when i saw part of this movie one night on a pay for view channel i be intrigue . i want to know what my uncle go through and felt a he get ready for vietnam . i go out and rent this movie and i have to say it be the most heart wrenching film i have ever see . i buy the dvd immediately after rent it . the way it pull you in so many different direction emotionally be something i have never experience with any other film . as far a vietnam subject film go and i think it be the best one and although platoon run a close second . besides all of that and i think it be also colin farrell best performance a an actor . i like him in most of his movie but in this one he be incredible . i give this a 10 rating because it be one of my top five favorite movie .
