Reviews

bchiasson1 The acting was superb across the board, the screen write was great, and the picture was top notch. This is one movie that I regret not hearing about, three great actors that really showed true potential. I would agree this isn't a movie to see if you are a fan of comedy, it is very emotional and heart wrenching at times

Danny Blankenship 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.

Clifton Johnson 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.

wwtsai The movie has potential but at the end feels more like a Broadway play than drama.
