Full Metal Jacket (Steelbook) [Import]

One of the greatest war films ever made, Stanley Kubrick's compelling look at recruits preparing for battle and the bloody war in Vietnam itself is marked by the director's characteristic black humor and heightened realism. Private "Joker" (Matthew Modine) is a cocky Marine who learns the horrors of war firsthand, as he's followed from the dehumanizing rituals of boot camp to a sniper assault in a bombed-out city. With Adam Baldwin, Vincent D'Onofrio, Arliss Howard, and R. Lee Ermey; based on Gustav Hasford's novel "The Short-Timers." 116 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English. Region Free
