ONLY THE BRAVE (Theatrical Release USA 2017)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.2|5.0 Starsìììì

Only The Brave—biopic—thoroughly tells its exceptionally sad story through the talents of Josh Brolin, Miles Teller, and Jennifer Connally with a little Jeff Bridges thrown in to strengthen the mix. The rest of the cast performs as background commentary to make the film work. Informative and non-complicated.
