The Last Full Measure


Based on the true story of a present-day cover-up investigation, "The Last Full Measure" follows young Pentagon investigator Scott Huffman (Stan) as he battles the political machine in Washington. He reluctantly teams with veterans of Operation Abilene to convince Congress to award the Medal of Honor to a courageous Air Force medic, William Pitsenbarger, who is seen saving the lives of over 60 Marines ambushed in one of the bloodiest battles of the Vietnam War. As the battle waged on, and after the last helicopter left, he continued to save lives until his own was sacrificed.

This movie felt more like a documentary.  I'm not saying it was a bad movie.  It was a decent movie if you are into history/politics but outside of that its just there.  There is no big story or hook.  It's one of those movies that are just telling you about this thing that happened.  

I wouldn't really recommend anyone rushing to see this or paying money for it.  You can just catch it whenever its on tv or something.  It's not a bad movie but its really just kind of there.  I'm actually pretty surprised this even got a wide theatrical release.
