True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Beautiful. Sad. Funny. Poignant. Everything you would hope for from such a movie with the brilliance of the three main actors and a cameo by the superb Cicely Tyson.

Greetings from Lithuania."Last Flag Flying" (2017) has to say something about war and politics. It does not like either of them. What i did like about this movie was not its message, perhaps, but acting and writing. On its core its a 2 hours road movie with some war veterans who share some dark secret. There are no revelations at the end of they journey, but there is some sort of accomplishment of what they did on the road.Overall, while "Last Flag Flying" isn't as good as Richard Linklater's previous movies (far from it), i did enjoy this picture entirely because of veteran actors doing good job and reading fine lines. This is a very anti-war movie without a war and a solid road drama.

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.

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.
