Review of Flags of Our Fathers (2006) by Jack Mathews for New York Daily News — 24 Jul 2013
Eastwood's sepia-toned combat scenes are as graphic, if not quite as jolting, as those in "Ryan." And without a Tom Hanks-size star in the cast, "Flags" is not likely to do "Ryan's" blockbuster business.
But "Flags," a true story directed by someone with far more faith in the audience's ability to empathize, is the better movie.
