Wow What a story! I cannot believe it took me song long to watch this. The Horror….

Synopsis: During the U.S.-Viet Nam War, Captain Willard is sent on a dangerous mission into Cambodia to assassinate a renegade colonel who has set himself up as a god among a local tribe.

NOTE::::

I watched the Redux version as I thought it would be the ‘Ultimate’ version, having spoken with friends it has been recommended that I go back and watch the theatrical cut as it ‘flows better’. That is one for another time though I think., the ending was far to trippy to repeat any time soon.
