Not counting his iconic themes for such blockbusters as Star Wars and Jaws, this might feature John Williams' best music score to date.

Unflinching story of Vietnam vet turned activist.
January 01, 2000
This is an impassioned movie, made with conviction and evangelical verve. It's also hysterical and overbearing and alienating.

Not the sort of movie you actually enjoy, but its thought-provoking subject matter and haunting images are not easily forgotten.

...a tale of American masculinity undone.

Cruise's impassioned performance as Kovic is an impressive accomplishment.

A compelling, elegiac film, particularly encouraging after the simplified morality of Platoon.

An exceptional feature on every level of execution, also displaying a rare sensitivity to Stone that he would spend the rest of his career trying to bury in violence and experimentation.
January 01, 2000
Stone has created a film whose overblown parts add up to far less than the epic whole he had in mind.

Born on the Fourth of July is...the most ambitious nondocumentary film yet made about the entire Vietnam experience.

Tom Cruise, who takes Kovic from clean-cut eager teen to impassioned long-haired activist, is stunning.
May 12, 2001
Stone has found in Cruise the ideal actor to anchor the movie with simplicity and strength.
