It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

I know what this movie was going for but it just didn't quite make it there for me.The story is sad, Steve Carrell's character has been hit with one punch to the gut after another and goes to find his war buddy's after 30 years to help him out. It's a road trip story basically without much in the way of anything happening on the road trip. It seemed like Brian Cranston's character did all the talking followed my Larry Fishburne and Carrell who the story was about was regulated to the background. Everything about this movie felt to shallow. I didn't really care about any of the characters so their emotions didn't extend to me. It was only in the final scene where I felt a little bit but even then it wasn't much.I think everyone was good as far as the acting goes so it wasn't bad acting that made this a mediocre movie it was the writing. There was just almost nothing there.I just happen to be working my way through Ken Burns' Vietnam War docuseries which is way better than this movie and brings home the folley of war a lot better than this movie. I really wanted to like Last Flag but can't say I enjoyed it.

I agree with one of the commentators here: I think the movie originated from a great idea but it was executed poorly. More than three decades later, three Vietnam veterans get together again after the son of one of them dies on duty in Iraq. All three men have different personalities and add their own flavor to the plot and this is all good, but a lack of seriousness disturbs you throughout most of the movie. It's nice to see Steve Carrell out of comedy movies, but his character seems too relaxed for a father who just recently lost his son. Bryan Cranston is shining in his portrayal of the care-free, live today think tomorrow type character, and I felt like Laurence Fishburne could do a lot better if his character was written with more attention.

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

Dramatic, poignant, serious, and yet delightfully light hearted. It's about young men at war and the old men returned from war and their memories and the remarkably incommon issues they have handled and moved forward each in their own way. As a retired military combat veteran myself I loved it. The acting is superb by all the players and the story is just memorable and touching in a good way. Needless to say again I loved it for so many reasons. Also, in my view it's an exceptional story of how young men change and adapt to life circumstances whether they are combat veteran or not.
