Product: Going All the Way (1997)
Rating: 3.0
A battle-scarred Vet comes home again, and tries to adjust.
This dark, angst ridden film depicts the anxieties of both Veteran's and their families after returning from war. It is the story of one young man's adjustment back into society and the bosom of his family. Between flashbacks, and grating overtures from Mom and Dad and Girlfriend to make things right, it seems like nothing will ever be right again. But with the help of his best-friend, (played by Ben Affleck) he begins to slowly, but surely put things back together for himself, and to enjoy life again, but on his own terms. Moving, emotional and relatible as the boy who never quite fit in, but is now a war hero, this film tells an interesting, compelling story. Ben Affleck plays a "good ol' boy" type, who shuns that image after being exposed to the realities of war. I would recommend it for anyone who would like the opportunity to see Ben in one of his best and biggest performances.
