One of the most widely acclaimed films of all time. THE DEER HUNTER is Michael Cimino's celebrated interpretation of the stresses and dangers - both physical and emotional which confront a trio of Pennsylvania steel workers when they are sent out to fight in the horror that was the Vietnam War. Out of this grim material, hewn off the macho block of men's suffering and male bonding, Cimino fashioned a huge movie that operates on the senses even more than on the mind.

Talk about epic run times! This is one of those film I'd always read about and felt I needed to check out for myself. While I wasn't as overwhelmed as I thought I would be, I do have to say that the whole Russian roulette scene while the American soldiers are held prisoner during the war is one of the most tense and nail biting sequences I have ever seen! Great performances by a pretty much all star cast, even if they werent all the big names then as they are today.

Nothing to write home about. Wonder why this is held in such high esteem!
