Director Oliver Stone continues his exploration of Vietnam in the biopic Born on the Fourth of July. Based on an autobiography, the film follows Ron Kovic who enlisted in the Marines to fight in Vietnam, but is paralyzed during a firefight and comes home to an America that he doesn’t understand. Starring Tom Cruise, Willem Dafoe, and Stephen Baldwin, the cast is quite formidable. However, while Cruise delivers an impressive performance, the script fails him and has trouble capturing the transformation of Kovic from a jingoistic veteran to a leader in the anti-Vietnam War movement. Born on the Fourth of July has some compelling and dramatic character moments, but it doesn’t quite come together as a cohesive story.
