Way too long for its own good, Cruise is really good. Although I’m not a hundred percent in on his transformation. Felt like it could’ve been handled better in a shorter amount of time. In the end, it was all about love, that he struggled to talk about..

There's a great scene where Cruise - for the lack of better words - laments the loss of his 'penis', in other words, his virility, both physically and emotionally, after struggling to express it ever since his childhood. You could honestly replace the Vietnam and activism stuff with pretty much anything else and end up with the same movie, because the aforementioned is what the movie is essentially about and the part that really worked for me.

It is an interesting life story portrayed by Stone with a steady hand and critical eye. Tom Cruise impresses in the lead role, but the film has several well-known actors in supporting roles that add strength. A very good depiction of how a dream and a conviction piece by piece are crumbled.

I find its anti-war message depressing in light of a 2019 where every political faction in America now accepts eternal worldwide bombings/military occupations/coups as the perfectly fine status quo, but as a film in a vacuum it’s quite good - Cruise’s physical, character and performance evolution over it is a marvel and Stone fuses a filming style that can be frantic, naturalistic and cheesy Americana from scene to scene into a fascinating whole; also some bomb-ass Puerto Rican titties.
