Reviews:

I can’t believe Platoon Leader is rated 4.4!!
First of all I’d like to state my opinion that this movie does not deserve the 4.4 rating that has been thrust upon it. I read the book “Platoon Leader” by James McDoughal (I’m not sure if that’s how you spell his last name), and it’s one of the best “Vietnam experience” books I have ever read. Upon that note, I saw this movie at the video store and picked it up, not really knowing what to expect. Well, let me tell you that this is one of the better war out there. Especially when compared to a movie like Apocalypse Now (which is in my opinion one of the worst depictions of the situation in Vietnam ever produced). It realistically depicts the trials of a new infantry platoon leader in Vietnam as he arrives fresh out of West Point and must quickly learn the ropes of being a PL and at the same time earn the respect of his men.

Bottom line: this is a damn good movie. If you have any interest in Vietnam or war movies in general, I highly recommend it.

a war movie worth seeing
Platoon Leader isn’t a Saving Private Ryan or a Platoon type of movie, but it’s a movie worth seeing. The action scenes are very well done. This movie captures the essence of what young officers in our armed forces have to go through to earn the respect of their enlisted counterparts.
