Apocalypse Now (1979)

A soldier is sent into the jungles of Vietnam to mind a man who was gone AWOL and living among the enemies. This is a very strange and dark movie and might be a little hard to follow.

I give this movie a 4.5 out of 5.

Kurtz, Martin Sheen (The Departed, Badlands, The West Wing, Come Sunday) as Captain Benjamin L.
