Very slow paced movie that just didn't melt my cold frozen heart

Rating: 6/10 (3 August 2018)

I know what this movie was going for but it just didn't quite make it there for me.
The story is sad, Steve Carrell's character has been hit with one punch to the gut after another and goes to find his war buddy's after 30 years to help him out. It's a road trip story basically without much in the way of anything happening on the road trip.
It seemed like Brian Cranston's character did all the talking followed my Larry Fishburne and Carrell who the story was about was regulated to the background. Everything about this movie felt to shallow. I didn't really care about any of the characters so their emotions didn't extend to me. It was only in the final scene where I felt a little bit but even then it wasn't much.
I think everyone was good as far as the acting goes so it wasn't bad acting that made this a mediocre movie it was the writing. There was just almost nothing there.
I just happen to be working my way through Ken Burns' Vietnam War docuseries which is way better than this movie and brings home the folley of war a lot better than this movie. I really wanted to like Last Flag but can't say I enjoyed it.
