Full Metal Jacket (Razorsharp)


Despite really liking this flick, it's hard to ignore that having R. Lee Ermey in it actually represents a bit of a hindrance.

Because he pretty much owns the first half of the movie (with what can be only be described as a truly memorable performance), what follows the training scenes (excluding the odd piece of very quotable dialogue) really struggles to match the quality of what has gone before therefore it's hard to leave this flick behind without feeling the slightest hint of disappointment.

This is a real shame as the second half of this movie is solid, really solid in fact but despite that section attaining a more than respectable level of quality it's still very hard indeed to view this flick as anything other than uneven.

Razorback Rating = Very Decent

This blog represents an ongoing list of flicks watched by my good self. Every movie viewed will be awarded one of seven ratings ('Unmissable', 'Superb', 'Very Decent', 'Decent', 'Decent Enough', 'Watchable' & finally 'Worthless') and any flick that falls under one of the first three ratings categories will also be awarded 'Razorsharp' status (which means it's pretty much a 'must see' movie in my not so humble opinion).
