Viewing Notes

Huh, I really enjoyed this (how the story was presented; not the actual story). Not sure what the controversy is but I’m really eager to read up on it. Berg could just make a career out of military propaganda films. He knows all the right buttons to push. Not sure why he had to include himself for one frame of the movie (or any director for that matter). Also easily the best I’ve seen from Ben Foster, whom I normally don’t like. Really like him here.
