ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

victor-beaudoin 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.

secondtake Last Flag Flying (2017) A great, low-key mixture of comedy and sadness. The more it went on the more I appreciated the situation, which unfolds like a play, and the ensemble acting, which is sharp. Bryan Cranston steals the show as the outgoing practical bartender veteran, but Laurence Fishburne and Steve Carell are really spot on, too, in deliberately restrained ways. The film is trying to get to something here. At first it seems to be about some guys coming to terms with their time in Viet Nam, and how it compromised them then, with repurcussions ever onward. Then a slow critique of war and of the US approach to war, pretending everyone in uniform is always a hero, and fighting for questionable (or worse) causes. But an important third element grows-the actual meaning these men have for each other. They hadn't seen each other in decades, but their comraderie was almost unbroken because of some deep bond formed in wartime. And when it really comes down to it, even as they reject and hate the government for what they were forced to do, they still understood honor and respect. Including a love of country, somehow. That it's there, despite the flaws. Or something like that. (There are complications, and it would be easy and shameful to oversimplify.) The big point is: see this and give it time to settle in and warm up. The three men are deliberately an odd mix, and there are a couple of scenes that are rather too neatly contrived to make a fast point in the narrative, but overall it makes sense and is moving.

michael-60522 So 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.
