He basically turns into an antimilitarist because he can't fuck anymore. Meh.

It really fails to stick its landing at the end there but for the most part it's absorbing, supercharged Oliver Stone style splattered on a subject with a lot of heart.

The movie was much longer than it needed to be. While Cruise pulls off a great performance as the lead, the movie meanders a lot and the last stretch of the movie ends up feeling monotonous, especially given how out of nowhere and sudden Cruise becomes anti-war. It has some really strong scenes but the anti-war message it wanted to convey ends up being muddled by awkward characterization and a lack of consistency on its message. It's a decent film that prevents itself from being great.

Born on The Fourth of July is a pretty damn good movie to watch on the fourth of July. While at times it can feel ham-handedly patriotic, and some of the dialogue is VERY hard to sit through, Tom Cruise gives a super compelling performance, and Stone has a knack for camerawork. It's not the single greatest movie ever made, but how it deals with how we treat our veterans, cements it at a high level.
