You won't be disappointed!

A lot of fun.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

First the Lt. Colonel should have been in his dress blue uniform, if his men were in their dress blue uniforms, at the Dover hanger scene.Second when Staff Sargent Sal starts having a discussion, where he wants to put down the Lt. Colonel, any enlisted man knows these officers like to be called Colonel and not Lieutenant Colonel, so Sal should have addressed him as Lieutenant Colonel, his correct rank.In the military there are 3 places where officers are addressed by a higher rank, than they actually have. First no one calls a 2nd Lieutenant 2nd Lieutenant or in the Navy no one calls a Lieutenant Junior Grade Lieutenant Junior Grade, these ranks get upgraded to Lieutenant. Second same courtesy as 05's go from Lieutenant Commander or Lieutenant Colonel to Commander and Colonel.Third when an officer gets his her First Star (Flag grade) they do not want to be called Sir or Mam anymore, they want to hear Yes Admiral or Yes General. And no one in their right mind is going to address a 1 star Admiral by using their official title. "Admiral lower Half, Chief Robinson reporting for duty." Be My Little General Brigadier Major Lieutenant General.Navy Rear Admiral Lower half (1 star) Rear Admiral Upper Half (2 stars) Vice Admiral (3 stars) Admiral (4 stars).When Sal went to rent the truck, how come he didn't give the reverend the keys to his car, or if the reverend could not drive because of his bum leg, he should have taken Doc with him so that after renting the truck, they both could drive back to the Air base and the Rev could have ridden in the truck with Sal or the car with Doc and not try to take a bus home. Sal just leaves his car in Delaware?And last but not least, when the Marine was sitting around in the train's cargo compartment, and the 3 older vets go back to talk with him, you see the young Marine sitting on Doc's son's boxed casket, never, never, never would have happened.

Finally 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.

This film felt far more like a play or TV movie than anything else - lots of dialogue, minimal soundtrack, and a few too many convenient plot leaps. Also, it tries a *little* too hard at almost every moment. But when Linklater writes your play, you can get Carrell, Cranston, and Fishburne to star. For all the flaws here, they act their asses off. And while the story is hardly perfect, we could use more like it too (even if they could be better executed). The story stays true to its characters, and works best at its quietest moments.

As 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.
