Fire at Will!

Regarding willjros’s Review
I can’t emphasise how good I thought this film to be. Whilst it dragged quite substantially at parts, I’ve not felt such a build-up of tension and anticipation in a movie, and Brando doesn’t throw this out the window when he finally appears as Kurtz. It must be heartening, given the problems encountered in making this movie, that it is now so acclaimed.
