The Deer Hunter (1978) is a psychological thriller about the effect that the Vietnam war had on a trio of friends. Robert de Niro and Christopher Walken play their parts fantastically and the famous Russian roulette scene had me on the edge of my seat. The criticism I have of this film is that the hour long first act wasn't needed at all and it could've been trimmed down to make the movie go by a little quicker. Robert De Niro was the stand out for me.
