just watch it!

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

This movie jumps into every war movie trope and struggles to keep up with any of them. It's like they got 10 directors who wanted to make a war movie and they ended up with this pointless spaghetti. Seems like the movie wants to show how complicated war is but ends up showing nothing.

I don't know what film ever one else was watching, personally I thought it was really bad. Yes i got the subject matter. But there was virtually no action, no story, no empathy, and all that was left was a load of mouthy, overly aggressive Americans with a chip on their shoulders.

After giving the career best, the director Ang Lee returned with this which is quite a long gap for him between the films. He has fallen back to the average, like usual whenever he gives a masterpiece. Most directors do that. This film was adapted from the book of the same name. It was not a full fledged war film. It has soldiers, but one day event theme where they are on the short break to homeland to participate in the felicitation programme for their victory.The story closely focused on the young soldier, Billy, Lynn. He was the centre of the event, a war hero. During his stay, he recalls the original event. What really happened and what else he could have done. Apart from that, enjoying the day with a game from the stadium, dance, musics and many more. Meeting family has a sub-plot that reveals about his choice to join the army. Overall, a memorable day with happy and sad incidents.So my first thought in the initial stage was like it is another film similar to the 2009's 'The Messenger'. No, it was not. It was completely different than anything I've seen so far. Refreshing, but not captivating. If you are okay with simple, yet want a feel strong, this is it. It is kind of like mixed result film. Great casting and strong performances. Wonderful debute for the lead actor.On the other side, mix of colourful, full of music, emotional, romantic, thrilling presentation. A bit Americanised, like the film events and the patriotism. So, a much better suitable film for the domestic audience than the rest of the world, perhaps excluding western world. Even though, watching it once is no harm or not bad.7/10

Another Ang Lee's film. Just like every of his film, «Billy Lynn's long halftime walk» is such a brilliant picture. It touched me a lot when Shroom died, and it was also at that moment I actually realised how dangerous it could be in the war. When the danger is everywhere, the only thing that we can do is trying our best not to be killed by the enemy. In this film, we can also notice that the Americans don't really understand what they do. Everyone has his own point of view of their identity. For some people, they are the hero of America; for the film producer, they are just "idea" or "story"; and for the dancers in the scene of Beyoncé, they are noting. By the way, the visual effect is fantastic. Wish that I could have seen it in the cinema. Excellent job.
