My .02 is that it was very over-rated, certainly not deserving an Oscar. Charlie Sheen's acting was brutal, and most of the others - particularly Berenger and Dillon - were a bit too over-the-top.

There are a lot better war films, even ones focusing on Vietnam.

A few good points were the scene were Sheen was falling asleep in the bush and, seemingly, imagining the Vietnamese soldiers coming through the mist. And the scene were Dafoe was being chased and ultimately shot in the field. Very well shot and directed.
