 Flags of Our Fathers—odd presentation—lacks cohesion with its 'all- over-the-place' story, little to no character development, and suitable but not great acting. Despite the hard-to-follow story, expect good fight scenes and highly graphic portrayal of war wounds. |
Storyline
|
Three men receive praise for raising a USA flag during World War II as a symbol of a great victory. |

Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?
|
Maybe.
It is an okay watch but hard to follow with a 'messy' storyline. This Clint Eastwood
film has a counterpart made by Clint Eastwood called Letters from Iwo Jima
about the Japanese side of the story that is a much better made film than
this film. |
