My wife and I thought it was a good movie, in the way a Miata is a good sports car. There is no Steve McQueen cameo, and Clint Eastwood isn't going to come in with guns blazing. It seems a bit like what you might expect if a museum curator was to go to war.
In other words, it isn't going to ''do'' you, or blow you out of your seat with action or suspense. It does however underscore what Americans used to stand for, and the contrast between that and what we were fighting against.
I doubt that it was terribly authentic, but it might inspire a television documentary that could fill in all the blanks. I found the film to be somewhat thought provoking, but then it was in the realm of what I might think about anyway. It isn't going to say much to those of the ''in it to win it'' generation.
