‘Last Flag Flying’ Trailer

There have been movies set during the War on Terror before, sure, but not many of them had the benefit of time between the start of the conflict and when the story takes place. Last Flag Flying is one of the first to have nearly decade and a half to reflect on the conflict and it looks like it’s going to take full advantage. Steve Carrell’s character, Richard Shepherd, loses his son in 2003 and asks his old Vietnam comrades to come with him to retrieve the body. Even though a road trip is at the center of the movie, it seems heavy on disillusionment, so don’t expect pure comedy from Carrel or Bryan Cranston. Plus, it’s coming from the same studio that made Manchester by the Sea. This one will probably be a little lighter, but not much.
