TITLE:Full Metal Jacket YEAR: 1987 CHARACTER: Animal Mother REVIEWD BY: Darren/fireflyfanuk BRIEF PLOT OUTLINE:A two-segment look at the effect of the military mindset and war itself on Vietnam era Marines. The first half follows a group of recruits in basic training under the command of the punishing Sgt. Hartman. The second half shows one of those recruits, Joker, covering the war as a correspondent for Stars and Stripes, focusing on the Tet offensive. ADAM'S PERFORMANCE:Adam delivers a shocking and at times un nerving performance in the role of animal in one of the classic war epics of our time. A hot headed, mentally slow, trigger happy soldier making the most of his situation. Adam generally brings through warmth and compassion in his characters, animal is without either. a fantastic performance from an actor who has more than proven his worth. see it, if only for the soldiers rendition of the Mickey mouse song in the closing scene... RATEING: /5
