I haven't seen this particular flick, but it seems to me it could be "fun" and a "terrifying grind" at the same time. Heroin, I'm told, is fun to use. But then addiction becomes a terrifying grind -- and then the thrill is gone. Maybe this film is the (pro-war) war-movie equivalent of "Leaving Las Vegas"? -- Jim Devine / "Segui il tuo corso, e lascia dir le genti."
