Witness to a great director's vision being slowly strangled by the work of a hired hack.

Sequences fade into the pack and make it difficult to differentiate one player from the others, much less remember them after the lights go up.

Flags of Our Fathers is an accomplished, stirring, but, all in all, rather strange movie.

[Flags] fits into Eastwood's late-in-life agenda -- to make violence, even in self-defense, seem soul-killing, and to expose the gulf between reality and myth. After this, how can we ever again make our peace with the iconography of war?

Possibly the richest testament Hollywood has yet made about the paroxysm of World War II ... an astounding movie on every level, not the least of which is its common humanity.

Eastwood's two-film project is one of the most visionary of all efforts to depict the reality and meaning of battle.

The film strives mightily to make some sort of affecting emotional epic about a bit of history that it itself acknowledges is actually footnote-worthy.

It feels disrespectful to say it, but this kind of war movie, like war itself, is starting to feel sickeningly familiar.

The film is confirmation of Paul Haggis's predilection for exploitation and easy sentimentality.

Here, the feelings run very deep, and dark as dried blood, with Clint aware that some things don't need to be said and others shouldn't be shown.

The full weight of a lifetime's experience has been brought to bear in the unobtrusive staging, the delicate score (by Eastwood himself), and a thoughtful, honest accounting of World War II's bloodiest and most iconic battle.
