Ratings and reviews

Kubrick at his best. He finds R. Lee Ermey who dominates the first half of the film with hysterical yet terrifying drill Sargent orders which you'll never forget...this film is ace buy it!

First half is hilarious second is harrowing, ''you look like you could suck a golf ball through a garden hose'' amazing film.

Love this film but its a shame you can't permanently buy it D:
