No more AMC theater

This movie was good but the AMC theater in Ahwatukee is awful. They played 17 minutes of commercials after the listed starting time of the movie. This is inexcusable. Also the volume during the commercials for new movies was ear-splitting. I won't go back to this AMC theater if I can avoid it.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Gripping and gritty

This is a great story though not a happy one. The distortion of facts to justify the invasion of Iraq is shown in grim detail, along with the political and bureaucratic maneuvers. Naomi Watts is terrific. The foreign and wartime scenes are believable. Sean Penn's portrayal of Joe Wilson is not as good, nor does the movie convey convincing bonds that could hold together a marriage under such duress. Worth seeing especially if you are interested in history or politics.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Very enjoyable movie, witty and well acted. A little racy for a PG-13 but highly recommended.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

A fine movie about real-life challenges. Very well acted and moving with a great love story. A bit long but well worth it. The characters are realistic and involving. Also a great soundtrack!
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Formulaic

Not a bad movie but not as good as it could have been. Russell Crowe acts well but the characters are formula types. Loaded with stereotypes about deranged veterans, corrupt congressmen, the military-industrial complex. I felt like I was watching "Law And Order". Ben Affleck had the best part.
No, I do not recommend this movie.
