I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

let's go back to the safe place, so let's go back to the war. How ironic yet how true. Ode to human souls. That's what makes Ang Lee's movies always interesting to watch. Keep questioning everything ppl take for granted and keep exploring the loneliness of human beings. Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk is definitely one of the best scripts in 2016.Seriously, what a shame for IMDb to have such a low rating of such a quality movie.

As a non American i usually find it hard to relate to USA anti-war films. They are usually filled with big macho guys, overly nationalistic and lacking genuine fear and failings.This is a great film. What a great performance from the leading man (Joe Alwyn) - could feel his sincerity right through every moment. Supported well by Steve Martin playing an unlikeable Texan business owner and also Kristen Stewart as the devoted sister trying to stop her brother returning to the battlefield. Vin Deisel did play the macho part who without any common sense throwing himself solely into the line of fire and paying the price...not sure if that would have happened too often in reality ?Anyway regardless of that this film showcases some great acting... I also loved the part where they are being parading at half time at the football stadium with Destiny's Child...the flashbacks worked well.The love interest was also played well by Makenzie Leigh another unknown to me but one to watch in the future.Id recommend this movie...hope there is a part 2 as the story appears only half finished...

Every generation has its own war and war heroes. Every administration has its own old men with hidden agenda in sending their youngs into battles in foreign lands (whether overtly or covertly). The American public has a chronic collective amnesia when it comes to the subject of wars. Ever since we started with the Independence War, we've entered numerous wars without learning any lessons from our past wars. History tends to repeat itself, especially when we as a nation are not even aware of our own history. The current wars that we are engaging are the direct results of old men with hidden agenda sending their young ones into hell while making political and business deals in order to keep themselves in power,at the same time enriching their friends.In wars, there are no heroes... rather, just ordinary men trying to stay alive while taking care of each others. Ask any Medal of Honor recipient. In the White House, there are no patriots... rather, just old men trying to stay in power while taking care of their friends. Really, ask any politician who is up for re-election... or any ex-politician.By the way, this movie reminds me of Courage Under Fire (Meg Ryan), and Casualties of War (Michael J. Fox). War movies with a real sense of truth to the situation.

Not since The Hulk has there been a horrible Ang Lee movie based on a well known fiction book. This movie, the last major movie to be filmed in high frame rate 3d and 4k until the next Avatar movies come out soon, was destined for failure. And it shows. While it looks amazing in HD quality, the pace of the scenes are slow as mollasses and the acting is bad lip syncing like a Godzilla American dub. Some of the cheerleaders in this movie are very hot. I tried finishing the movie but the disc skipped so i returned it to Netflix. I suggest you skip this movie and watch Hacksaw Ridge instead.
