It's very earnest and very safe. Everyone explains everything that they are thinking in the most poignant way every time. It is very predictable and expected. Jan 24, 2020 | Full Review…

A moving and powerful and unforgettable story about the Vietnam War and its aftershocks, in the tradition of "The Deer Hunter" and "Coming Home." Jan 24, 2020 | Rating: 4/4 | Full Review…

Writer/director Todd Robinson spins this tale of heroism with a lot of purple sentiment but surprisingly little of the jingoism expected from a film like this. Jan 24, 2020 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

Ultimately, we're just meant to recognize bravery and salute. The movie's not strictly necessary for that. Jan 23, 2020 | Rating: C | Full Review…

In giving U.S. Air Force pararescueman William H. Pitsenbarger, his due, The Last Full Measure occasionally meanders into the maudlin, reined in by a cast that lends some gravity to the melodrama. Jan 23, 2020 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

If you're going to put Samuel L. Jackson, Ed Harris, William Hurt, Christopher Plummer and Peter Fonda in one movie together, you're really going to have to mess up to get me to not recommend it. Jan 24, 2020 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

The weakness of the movie is that it so skims on what actions Pitsenbarger did to set him above other soldiers who voluntarily put their lives at risk. Jan 24, 2020 | Rating: 6/10 | Full Review…

[Airman William] Pitsenbarger's heroics are undoubtedly meaningful, but [writer/director Todd] Robinson's script is strictly by the numbers and, thus, lacks the emotion needed to fully appreciate a cinematic retelling of this patriot's sacrifice. Jan 24, 2020 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review…

At this point, having every Vietnamese character be a bloodthirsty butcher with no lines reinforces that this feels more like a 1980s TV movie than a considered tribute to a fallen hero Jan 24, 2020 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…
