27. Last Flag Flying

Release Date: November 3rd

Billed As:

Richard Linklater + An amazing cast + heavy familial emotion. A winner, in other words, and guaranteed for Oscar attention.

Hype:

You know what you're getting from Richard Linklater by now - he's one of the most gifted story-telling directors of his generation, whose ability to inspire empathy and affection for characters is unrivalled.

Given this tale of three veterans drawn together by the death of one of their own sons is bound to play on his favourite issues of time and love and family bonds, and with Steve Carell, Bryan Cranston and Laurence Fishburne in the leads, it's bound to feature great performances.

It's also something of a sequel - to Jack Nicholson’s 1973 film The Last Detail, in which Carell's character Doc was a prisoner being escorted by the other two.
