Goofs

The Huey Helicopter shown during the insertion has a 'toilet bowl' engine exhaust heat deflector, which was not in use at the time, due to fact there are few remaining period helicopters in flyable condition which can be found for use in such a film this many years later.

User Reviews

Really good fact based drama

Whilst it takes an annoyingly generic and familiar approach to it's incredible true story, The Last Full Measure is still a really good fact based drama that's emotional and engaging. Sebastian Stan gives a great lead performance and Christopher Plummer, Samuel L. Jackson, Ed Harris and William Hurt all give amazing supporting performances. Todd Robinson's direction is really good and the war scenes are effectively intense and harrowing. The music by Philip Klein is good.
