Another new one for me. I'm not usually a big war-movie fan, but this one's got an interesting enough premise that it caught my attention. Washington is investigating the Medal of Honor nomination of Ryan's Medevac Captain Walden. In the process, he uncovers a story that no one suspected. And confronts his own warped war-time story along the way.
There's a lot of great stuff here, including a confused moral gray area. While Ryan spends most of her screentime screaming, it's nice to see her play a character that's not in love with Tom Cruise :) And Washington's troubled, drinking Serling is well done from start to finish.
If that's not enough, there's a really skinny Matt Damon in here too.
