So yesterday I watched Stanley Kubrick's "Full Metall Jacket" as well as Fede Alvarez's "Don't Breathe".
Full Metal Jacket: R. Lee Ermey's role as the Drill Instructor was a mixed bag for me. When he is first introduced his performance was so over-the-top that I couldn't help but laugh, then later on the film I started to dislike him because of how much of an asshole he is, which I suppose was what Kubrick intended for the character. The rest of the cast is just as excellent. Matthew Modine in the leading role as Private Joker is simply incredible.
Don't Breathe: The performances of the three main stars are spot on, so is that of Stephen Lang as The Blind Man (speaking of, the character's resistance to pain/physical trauma is impressive). And besides one or two cheap jump scares, they succeeded at maintaining a lingering suspense throughout the entire movie.
