I'll be charitable and interpret it as essential at its time with the looming Gulf War. Everything else is half-baked in this movie.

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.

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.
