I like a movie that brings actor's or actresses out of their comfort zone and has them branch out. In this case TV comedian Bronson Pinchot and romantic comedy queen Meg Ryan. They each do a good job with their characters and hold their own. Denzel Washington I believe could have done a bit better but the story itself was a tough sell. Lou Diamond Phillips a all around actor I thought stood out and Matt Damon who went to extremes for the role was good. In all a complex story of should a woman be awarded the Medal Of Honour and be the first female recipient to do so. The Pentagon however wants this to happen but a investigation starts to prove otherwise if she was courageous under fire. As the story unfolds we see different perspective thoughts on what went down. Each time the story is told is different telling it as if she was a coward, too bossy or not of sole mind. Once we get to the guilt wrenched soldier for a second time do we see what really went down.
In all a interesting story that could have been better than it was. Still it's enjoyable and doesn't try that hard to be something else. We see a lot of struggle with Denzel Washington as Sterling who is battling with his own demons and investigating a MOH case that has it's ripples. The characters could have been more emotionally played out which Matt Damon does and outshines most the cast.
I liked it for what it was and not being a big war movie fan do say it's a better than average movie not really based on combat but it's aftermath. The ending leaves I think a question mark on the main character (Sterling) played by Washington in if he gets the help he needs to overcome his guilt. Again a enjoyable movie that'll keep you entertained.
