No one watched this movie? I thought it was pretty good. For the most part, it's a really good crime investigation drama. This is not really a war movie or a political movie, although it does convey a point about war in general. 3/4

LOL, I actually watched this last night. I thought it was pretty damn good.

Recently watched it. Heck of a cast. Solid movie that gets better and better as it goes along. The room even got a little dusty if I remember correctly. I loved the last scene with flag, a perfect conclusion.

I liked it too. Amazingly enough, my wife did too. Not usually her kind of movie.
