Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
There are images in Platoon so powerful that they seem, rather than simply imprinted on celluloid, to have been burned into memory.
– Dave Kehr,

fresh:
Precisely because Stone forces you to experience a grunt's tunnel vision and rage, Platoon is a film of inspiring empathy and awesome force. Curiously, that same tunnelvision in the end compromises Platoon.

This is movie-making with a zealot's fervor.

Platoon is filled with one fine performance after another, and one can only wish that every person who saw the cartoonish war fantasy that was Rambo would buy a ticket to Platoon and bear witness to something closer to the truth.
