What
our panel of critics thought |
"Marlon
Brando, you badly lit wobble bottom."
"From
the musical agent orange bombing, to the smell of Napalm in the
morning? How can one possibly sleep during this masterpiece?"
"Crisply
comic, which goes at a good crack!"
"Is
that a very young Harrison Ford as an officer in that movie? A pre
Chewbacca triumph!"
"It
took ages to film, almost made the director bankrupt, the least
you can do is watch the darn thing."
"'Nam
hell. At least this time with an off switch."
"Brando
is as weird as can be. Method acting or just good lighting?"
"Dennis
Hopper gives a pot be-smoked masterpiece of a performance. Triple
bongs all round!"
"Nobody
shaves their hair off like Brando."
"The
ending seems to go on for an eternity."
"To
be killed metaphorically is bad enough. But to be killed in a movie
metaphor of sliced cow culling would be most actors worst nightmare.
Indeed, could this have been attempted by any actor not of the caliber
of tortured, flabby, bald, Brando."
"A
masterpiece of editing. Was Brando ever there in the first place?"

Please
tell me the ending or whole plot if necessary

|
Lieutenant
Willard (Martin Sheen) seeks Colonel Kurtz (Marlon Brando) with
a mission to kill him.
He
kills him in the end in bloody bull-filled metaphor.

Quotable quotes (real) |
|
"Charging
a man with murder in this place is like giving out speeding tickets
at the Indy 500."
