Roger Ebert
Here is a movie that regards combat from ground level, from the infantryman's point of view, and it does not make war look like fun.

Reelviews Movie Reviews
Platoon is one of those movies that, once seen, will never be forgotten, and, at least for those who were not in Vietnam, will forever alter the way in which the war is considered.

"Platoon" certainly grabs the viewer by the collar in a way not found everyday in contemporary films.

IMDb
Its hard to know where to start with such a breathtaking film. Oliver Stone's Platoon is quite simply the best Vietnam war film ever made in my opinion.

Rotten Tomatoes
'Platoon' may not be the best Vietnam war film ever made -- I still prefer both Apocalypse Now and Full Metal Jacket by a healthy margin -- but I wouldn't care to argue with any veteran who states that it's the most honest depiction of that insane skirmish.

With a great script, great performances, and awesome cinematography, Platoon is a surefire classic.
