writer-director Todd Robinson, whose script for Ridley Scott's 1996 boating drama White Squall remains his best-known credit, has managed to turn this tribute to a verifiable hero into a plodding, somnolent snooze
it's not without its flaws, and Todd Robinson's wobbly narrative bears much of the blame, but its emotional resonance will stay with you long afterward
a so-so movie with a lot of good parts. "The Last Full Measure" has more good parts than most better movies, but everything connecting those parts feels rote, sometimes ham-fisted. It's not a bad movie by any means, but..it's not quite good enough
"The Last Full Measure" is lost in the fog of war from the moment it starts; it's such a mess from the moment it starts that it's difficult to see any of its intentions clearly
