Good, but I expected more for a best picture

Rating: 7/10 (8 June 2018)

Overall a good movie but not worthy of winning best picture in my opinion. Having spent time in the sandbox, I thought the portrayal of the military lifestyle was lacking a sense of reality and had way too much hollywood flavor mixed in. The characters were cast pretty well and the story had drama that made it interesting. I was just left feeling empty and not moved by the overall them of the movie. I would watch it again and you should form your own opinions, but don't expect an oscar winning performance with this one.
