Synopsis
THE LAST FULL MEASURE tells the true story of Vietnam War hero William H. Pitsenbarger (Jeremy Irvine), a U.S. Air Force Pararescuemen (also known as a PJ) medic who personally saved over sixty men. During a rescue mission on April 11, 1966, he was offered the chance to escape on the last helicopter out of a combat zone heavily under fire, but he stayed behind to save and defend the lives of his fellow soldiers of the U.S. Army's 1st Infantry Division, before making the ultimate sacrifice in one of the bloodiest battles of the war. Thirty-two years later, respected Pentagon staffer Scott Huffman (Sebastien Stan) on a career fast-track is tasked with investigating a Congressional Medal of Honor request for Pitsenbarger made by his best friend and PJ partner on the mission (William Hurt) and his parents (Christopher Plummer & Diane Ladd). Huffman seeks out the testimony of Army veterans who witnessed Pitsenbarger’s extraordinary valor, including Takoda (Samuel L. Jackson), Burr (Peter Fonda) and Mott (Ed Harris). But as Huffman learns more about Pitsenbarger’s courageous acts, he uncovers a high-level conspiracy behind the decades-long denial of the medal, prompting him to put his own career on the line to seek justice for the fallen airman.

after spending years watching entire movies for sebastian’s 5 minutes of screentime, seeing him finally in a lead role and carrying it with such ease made me so proud look at my boy go
drianaJan 22, 2020A stultifying reminder that bad movies are often made with the best intentions, Todd Robinson’s “The Last Full Measure” certainly can’t be faulted for the integrity of its mission. As unambiguous with its agenda as it is incoherent with its storytelling, this clumsy but…

jessica🐾Aug 5, 20256.5/10 Randomly found this on Hulu, and had literally no clue this existed. And honestly not that bad. I lean more positive with this mainly because the cast was so good. The concept is very cool, and the idea of them bouncing between perspectives did intrigue me. But I…

⚠️52% 2020 list - Click HERE It’s difficult to give this film a lower score, and that is mostly due to the genuine nature of the story. It isn’t “bad” in any sense of the word (when it comes to the premise). It comes more-so when you focus on the execution. The bland…

Wow! Just wow! What a moving film! I hadn’t heard of this film, for what reason, I have no idea. Just by coincidence I watched it almost 58 years to the day of what transpired on that fateful day, what most have called the bloodiest day of the Vietnam War. A must watch in my book
Acd is "meh" onThe Last Full MeasureCould have been better Good acting, great actor, good story but.. When he do his job and interview people it’s kinda boring and then boom flashback and you’re scotch to the screen… then return to reality and in the beginning you just wanna slap that boy damn..😂 5/10
Mickerdoo is "meh" onThe Last Full MeasureA heroic story with some emotional points. Not detracting from any of that. Just wish it was told in a less bureaucratic way.

There’s little sense of forward motion to any of this.

What The Last Full Measure demonstrates is how powerful it can be to shed light on these experiences, through testimony, bearing witness and yes, ceremonial recognition.

This Vietnam War-themed drama is one of the dullest films made about that oft-dramatized conflict.
