A good movie that lose its momentum once it stops focusing on story and start focusing on lecturing anti war talking points
Do you ever get this feeling when someone is being too nice to you and they he is starting to ask things from you and you are thinking to yourself "oh so here is the catch". Well this is what this movie is all about.
The main character was built really nice, he had no wife, no future, all of his friends aren't near him- he has nothing to lose. He is the perfect guy for the mission of delivering beer in a war zone. He is a failure at his home and no one is appreciating him, and in the war zone he is getting gratitude and have a sense of purpose. It was shown beautifully in the movie and I really liked it.
Then, somewhere in the second half, it stops revolving about this interesting plot and the protagonist journey about having a purpose and meaning, and having a will to do more with his life, and it starts revolving about characters that feels like commentators from the news that deliver talking points against the war.
The most absurd moment of the movie was when the Vietcong killed people randomly on the street and the protagonist and the characters around him were blaming America for it. It was a 9/10 for the first half and 0 for the second half.
