Together they travel from Norfolk to New Hampshire on a trip that involves lots of reminiscences about their time together in Vietnam. LOTS of memories and plenty of chat.

All the lead actors however different their character's nature is, plays a sore, vulnerable and prone to the experience they suffered all along their life is easily and majestically projected by them. Last Flag Flying is Richard Linklater's darkest film as it scraps up some brutal wounds and he depends completely on his cast for this part. And when it comes to offer some levity, hope and of course unusual conversations (the one thing no one can beat him on), he carries it on his shoulder. Last Flag Flying is a head held high movie (a new topic or genre for Richard and he is surprisingly good at it.) that lets the audience think about the consequences of the decision that one chooses which is represented in a mild and innocent tone.… Expand
