Movie Reviews of The Boys in Company C

Movie Review: Fun movie to watch. Silly, but fun!!
Summary: 5 Stars

Having seen this movie when it came out in theater's, and only a couple of times since, I had forgotten how fun a movie this one is to watch. I believe this was R. Lee Ermey's first war flick, and we can see why he has done others, such as Full Metal Jacket. He's the star of this film, he's the one you'll remember. In my opinion, the movie could have been a whole boot camp flick and that's it. Although the plot is really silly, the soccer game issue, it makes you think "Is this how some things really work in the military and government?" The answer, is yes, in some ways they do.
Don't take this flick seriously, just watch it to enjoy it, have a few laughs, and if you're a former Jarhead, you'll appreciate it.

Summary of The Boys in Company C

Set in 1967, The Boys in Company C follows the lives of five Marine inductees from their training in boot camp through a tour of duty in Vietnam that quickly devolves into a hellish nightmare. Disheartened by futile combat, appalled by the corruption of their South Vietnamese ally, and constantly endangered by the incompetence of their own company commander, the young men discover a possible way out of the war. They are told that if they can defeat a rival soccer team they may spend the rest of their tour playing exhibition games safely behind the lines. But, as might be expected, nothing in Vietnam is as simple as it seems. Andrew Stevens was nominated for a Golden Globe award for his performance as Private Billy Ray Pike. Special Features Include: Audio Commentary by Andrew Stevens, Theatrical Trailer and Photo Gallery of Original Lobby Cards. Widescreen Format (2.35:1)
