Stanley Kubrick's return to filmmaking after a seven-year hiatus, this film crystallizes the experience of the Vietnam War by concentrating on a group of raw Marine volunteers. Based on Gustav Hasford's novel -The Short Timers, the film's first half details the volunteers' harrowing boot-camp training under the profane, power-saw guidance of drill instructor Sgt. Hartman (R. Lee Ermey, a real-life drill instructor whose performance is one of the most terrifyingly realistic on record). Part two takes place in Nam, as seen through the eyes of the now thoroughly indoctrinated marines. Ironically, Full Metal Jacket was filmed almost entirely in England. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Stanley Kubrick's Vietnam war film Full Metal Jacket comes to DVD in the same bare-bones style as other legendary Kubrick titles. The picture is a full-frame 1.33:1 transfer. English and French soundtracks are available in Dolby Digital Mono. Subtitles can be accessed in both of those languages as well. A theatrical trailer is pretty much the extent of the supplemental material. Many fans hope that the films in Kubrick's catalogue will one day be outfitted with materials that will elucidate their hallowed place in the history of cinema for future generations. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide
