Another winner from Linklater. Amazing actors give fantastic performances and share frank and honest conversation, about a myriad of issues, from life, to government, to faith and all around.

I was really surprised how GOOD this movie was... plenty of laughs and a great story. Bryan Cranston proves once again how terrific an actor he is. Steve Carell and Laurence Fishburn are also superb. 9/10

Despite being far from his best outings, _Last Flag Flying_ is very much a Richard Linklater movie, and it bears all the defining traits of the director, from the focus on character-driven dialogue to the expert juxtaposition between humor and drama. The character interaction and their history suck you in and the movie feels much shorter than it is, which is a great accomplishment for the film, especially with it being as dialogue heavy as it is. Bryan Cranston obviously got the more fun role to play, but I found the standout to be, as he often is these days, Steve Carell. The man is doing some exceptional work and just this year we've seen him in two completely different roles - this and as Bobby Riggs in _Battle of the Sexes_ - and he has absolutely owned both of them.

A good movie about war, loss, friendship and age.
