Lots of political minded folks review bombing this film, not because it's a bad film, but because they are opposed to its message and to the actors in the film.

Want to know something about history? It's relative. People talk all the time about movies like Citizen Kane, or The Big Lebowski. Funny thing about those "masterpieces"? They were actually box office bombs, and it took a relatively long time for the films to gain the status and recognition they enjoy today.

So, don't judge a movie's box office total to its worthiness as art. Judge a movie's worthiness as art to its worthiness as art. The performances in this movie are delivered with incredible deftness and tact. The story is timeless.

Also, I'm a veteran of the U. S. Army. It was excellent to watch a story in the modern era highlighting the timeless plight of veterans being betrayed by the politicians by focusing on the veterans of WWI, and the Bonus Army, without being pandering.

This is a movie I can watch over many times. And I will.
