Der junge Sanitäter William Pitsenbarger riskierte sein Leben in einer der härtesten Schlachten des Vietnamkriegs und rettete damit über 60 Männer. Er hatte die Gelegenheit, mit dem letzten Hubschrauber aus derKampfzone zu fliehen, blieb jedoch zurück, um das Leben seiner Kameraden zu retten. Mehr als 30 Jahre später soll der ehrgeizige Pentagonbeamte Scott Huffman prüfen, ob Pitsenbarger für seinen heldenhaften Einsatz die Medal of Honor-Tapferkeitsmedaille verdient. Doch während seinen Recherchen stößt er auf einen Skandal, den seine Vorgesetzten vertuschen wollen. Scott hat nun die Wahl zwischen Karriere und Wahrheit... (Leonine)

The biggest problem I see is the casting of Sebastian Stan, who has zero ability to evoke emotion in the viewer. The other acting veterans here come across as mere staffage and I'd really like to know what convinced them to go for this, at the very least, extremely odd project. All the flashbacks are perfectly interchangeable with any self-respecting war film and the final scene (I was just waiting for the cleaning lady, receptionist, and gardener to stand up, too) should be outlawed. But for some reason inexplicable to me, it flew by rather quickly, so in the end a hard-fought 2 stars.

The Last Full Measure has an extremely strong story and an important idea, but it doesn't seem to really sell either. The plot drags on, lacks dramatic arcs, and the final typically American cheerleader along with a lot of exaggerated patriotism, sentiment, and pathos definitely does not help the final impression. The attempt to portray human emotions and to evoke an emotional movement in the viewer was a bit of a miss. At least for me. However, I have to admit that looking at all the great actors made me realize how time is actually passing outrageously fast for the time that has been allotted to us here . That moved me much more than the film itself. (50%)
