Slow pace in the most part of the movie.
... View MoreGood start, but then it gets ruined
... View MoreI cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
... View MoreLet me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
... View MoreFinally watched the latest film from Richard Linklater who mostly does works of friendship and family and with this touching drama "Last Flag Flying" it doesn't let you down. A film that's powerful and bold with a statement of courage showing that honor can be done in a different way and manner.Set in 2003 thirty years after a trio of Vietnam War veterans served all reunite and get together on a different mission and that's the burial of one's son former Navy Corp medic Larry "The Doc"(Steve Carell), as Doc's son was a young Marine killed in the Iraq war.Yet this burial is different Doc decides instead of a National Cemetery burial the casket will go back by train to his New Hampshire hometown. Along the way help and support is given from the outspoken and against the grain Sal(Bryan Cranston) and the straight and loving Rev. Richard(Laurence Fishburne).Along the way this journey produces memories, reflection, and rediscovered love and thru it all these traits continue to shape their lives with bravery and courage. Overall this is a well done film of standing up and being brave with courage and emotion.
... View MoreBeautiful film, touching story about life, stellar acting, and yet 6.9 on IMDB... People never cease to amaze me.
... View MoreSo Col Wilts hair is too long, his rank is not properly placed and his actions were totally something you don't see in an officer in today's Marine Corps. His actions towards the LCpl would have been more realistic if it has been a GySgt, 1stSgt or MSgt. Lastly, he is a LtCol and not a Colonel. Colonels wear eagles, LtCol wears a silver oak leaf.
... View MoreAs a Vietnam veteran this story really hits home. I'm usually not one for tearjerkers but this an exception. Super performances by fishburne, Cranston and, especially, Steve Carrell. Carnell shows that he is more than a comic actor but can excell at an extremely serious film like this. Highly recommend.
