"An intense, schematic, superbly made Vietnam War drama."
- Variety
"Although the elements of the story are simple and precise, Kubrick infuses a dreamlike, fatalistic quality."
- Desson Thomson, Washington Post
"Full Metal Jacket, ice and wildfire, order and chaos, is intellectual war, hard thought."
- Rita Kempley, Washington Post
"Kubrick's harrowing, beautiful and characteristically eccentric new film about Vietnam, is going to puzzle, anger and (I hope) fascinate audiences as much as any film he has made to date."
- Vincent Canby, New York Times
"No one who sees Full Metal Jacket will easily put the film's last glimpse of D'Onofrio, or a great many other things about Kubrick's latest and most sobering vision, out of mind."
- Janet Maslin, The New York Times
