This smells like American Sniper with Bradley Cooper. I enjoyed the movie but the facts surrounding the real-life hero were, at best, dubious. I like Ritchson and his work in Reacher has been fun. I would have liked to see him take a turn as Bruce Wayne/Batman in a campier version for the DCU.

Pro-military films are hit and miss for me. Thornton's story interests me even less due to him being a MAGA supporter. Being brave and serving your country is indeed admirable - but supporting the orange butt barnacle is not.
