Has it's moments, but ultimately doesn't fly

If you're looking for a movie with a simple human story and great performances, you might really enjoy this film. However, if you're seeking a more complex and deep human story, you'll probably be a little disappointed. The issue I have with 'Last Flag Flying' is that it gives the impression of being much deeper than it really is. Perhaps it's because I'm comparing it to 'The Last Detail,' a movie that wasn't overly complex but still left a lasting impression. It wasn't too long, and it was never dull. 'Last Flag Flying' was both. Yet, you can't call it a bad film. Personally, I loved Cranston's performance. He's no Nicholson, but he is certainly a talented actor. Yes, the movie isn't attempting to be a sequel to 'The Last Detail,' but we need some basis for comparison. I did that, and it simply doesn't carry the same weight. Nevertheless, it's still a decent movie, to some extent.
