Platoon (1986) - 2 stars

One sentence plot summary: The Vietnam War was not as fun as "Good Morning Vietnam" portrays it to be.

Starring: Charlie Sheen, Tom Berenger, Willem Dafoe, Forest Whitaker, Francesco Quinn, John C. McGinley, Richard Edson, Kevin Dillon, Keith David, Johnny Depp, Mark Moses, Captain Dale Dye.

Best of: An intense scene where American soldiers take their anger out on some local villagers.

Worst of: Both Charlie Sheen and Tom Berenger are wildly miscast.

Notable: Sheen and Berenger would reunite, this time appropriately cast, 3 years later for the much superior "Major League."
