One of several 1978 films dealing with the Vietnam War (including Hal Ashby's Oscar-winning Coming Home), Michael Cimino's epic second feature The Deer Hunter was both renowned for its tough portrayal of the war's effect on American working class steel workers and notorious for its ahistorical use of Russian roulette in the Vietnam sequences. Structured in five sections contrasting home and war, the film opens in Clairton, PA, as Mike (Robert De Niro), Nick (Christopher Walken), and Stan (John Cazale, in his last film) celebrate the wedding of their friend Steve (John Savage) and go on a final deer hunt before the men leave for Vietnam. Mike treats hunting as a test of skill, lecturing Stan about the value of "one shot" deer slaying and brushing off Nick's urgings to appreciate nature's beauty. As Mike ruminates post-hunt, the film cuts to the horror of Vietnam, where the men are captured by Vietcong soldiers who force Mike and Nick to play Russian roulette for the V.C.'s amusement. Mike turns the game to his advantage so they can escape captivity, but the men are permanently scarred by the episode. Steve loses his legs; Nick vanishes in the Saigon Russian roulette parlors. Mike returns alone to Clairton a changed man, as he rejects the killing of the deer hunt and finds solace with Nick's old girlfriend Linda (Meryl Streep). Disgusted by the antics of his male cohorts at home, Mike decides to bring Steve back from a veterans' hospital, and he returns to Saigon to find Nick. As Saigon falls, Mike discovers how far gone Nick is; the survivors gather in Clairton for a funeral breakfast, singing an impromptu rendition of "God Bless America." ~ Lucia Bozzola, Rovi

New Trailer For The Deer Hunter
Special Review For Movie The Deer Hunter
Is it as good as its advance word and nine Academy Award nominations suggest? Yes.
Gene Siskel-Chicago Tribune

This excruciatingly violent, three-hour Viet Nam saga demolishes the moral and ideological cliches of an era: it shoves the audience into hell and leaves it stranded without a map.
-TIME Magazine

The film is ambitious and it succeeds on a number of levels and it proves that Cimino is an important director who deserves to be watched carefully.
Charles Schreger-Variety

A disgusting account of what the evil Vietnamese did to poor, innocent Americans stands at the center of this Oscar-laden weepie about macho buddies from a small industrial town.
Jonathan Rosenbaum-Chicago Reader

This is probably one of the few great films of the decade.
-Time Out

It is a heartbreakingly effective fictional machine that evokes the agony of the Vietnam time.
Roger Ebert-Chicago Sun-Times

Michael Cimino is better remembered for bankrupting United Artists Studios with "Heaven's Gate" (1980) than he is for making the highly-praised war picture that put him in a position to do such a thing in the first place.
Cole Smithey-ColeSmithey.com

Cimino's daring elegy to a war-torn community may be a long haul, but the extravagant running time is a small price to pay for such gut-wrenching performances and Vilmos Zsigmond's rich cinematography.
-Total Film

The film's depiction of a senseless war remains relevant as long as power-hungry leaders continue to play Russian roulette with the lives of young soldiers.
Matt Brunson-Creative Loafing

Held together with a phenomenal cast, The Deer Hunter is a powerful film but also controversial in many ways.
Kevin Carr-7M Pictures

Largely Ambitious, and not without flaws, Cimino's Oscar winning film is nonetheless an effective chronicle of the impact of Vietnam on a clique of close friends
Emanuel Levy-EmanuelLevy.Com

The friendship between the three central characters, as well as their shared association with the men from their small hometown, is truthful and realistic in a way that most guys will find impossible to resist.
David Nusair-Reel Film Reviews

The first half and second half of the film couldn't be more different but that is the genius behind the film.
Kevin McCarthy-BDK Reviews

Like an honorable soldier, Cazale gave everything he had for a cause in which he believed.
Phil Villarreal-Arizona Daily Star

Gauging the shifting moods of the 1970s, this tale of life and love disrupted by war is as arresting as a bullet to the brain.
Anton Bitel-Film4

A visceral film that says volumes about the horrors of war and its impact on the lives of typically well adjusted people.
Wesley Lovell-Cinema Sight

A simultaneuosly touching and harrowing experience that puts the audience directly in the shoes of one man's experience of Vietnam.
Colin Kennedy-Empire Magazine

a hollow movie that only play-acted at meaning; the sucker was us.
Mark Athitakis-Filmcritic.com

Draggy and devastating by turns
Tim Robey-Daily Telegraph

An emotionally devastating meditation on war, masculinity, and the human psyche.
Cindy Widner-Austin Chronicle
