The only good part in the whole movie was Robert Duvall's part. Other than that this thing is a waste of celluloid! I got the extended SE director's cut. This thing was to long by at least 2 hours. The whole bit at the French plantation was absolutely stupid, why was it in there. The Playboy playmates...yuck, I have seen my share of Playboys in my time, but I have never seen such uglyness in there! Little to no gunfire in the entire movie, Rambo had more in 10 minutes than this "war flick" had total. And Marlon Brando...PLEASE! Thank the gods Charlie made Platoon to redeem the Sheen name! Be honest, who like this movie & why?

I agree, Redux was an abomination. The original version was better but was too weird to be pure war movie.
