After Stanley Kubrick’s Full Metal Jacket, Platoon was the second best Vietnam war movie of the 1980’s, and this enjoyable documentary throws a casual salute to its success by drafting in the key actors to reminisce about their time on location in the Philippine jungle.

As director Oliver Stone comes across as an appalling and tyrannical figure who is noticeable by his absence, the now middle-aged actors Charlie Sheen, Johnny Depp, Willem Dafoe and so on are good company, though they show an alarming lack of self awareness or interest in the local culture or politics.
