A compelling Viet Nam hangover action movie mash-up. Dennehy is so deliciously unlikable, Crenna is perfect as the inscrutable Colonel, and Stallone gives one of his best performances.

Those sequels make no fucking sense.

a wall to wall stunner.

UPDATE: I foolishly, accidentally logged this as 4 stars instead of 5. Thanks to the confused folks in my comments who pointed it out.

Definitely more cohesive than the theatrical, and it *sure* is fuller. One might call it bloated. Me. I would call it bloated. The run time is a travesty. In a perfect world there's a 2-1/2 hour version of this movie and I still wouldn't like it very much. Brass tax, I don't like Snyder's style and I don't like his take on these characters (especially Superman). All told, I'm glad I never need to see it again.

Also, if I can live my whole life and never see Jared Leto's Joker again, I'll die a happy, short man.

Holy smokes this is good. It's grim and gritty but feels real and never forced. Beautiful to behold.
