The Last Detail

A brilliant buddy movie that turns into a sort of late coming-of-age or initiation film. Enjoyable, authentic and with the right amount of deep humanism and furious social and political angst that could only be found in american films in that golden era circa 1973.

The Last Detail is one of my 10 favorite films and ordinarily I try to slightly separate my affections from my 'objective' thoughts on a film but I truly don't think there is anything about it that could be made better. It's Hal Ashby's masterpiece.

Nothing happens in this movie. Artistic movie though. Given the weak plot, it was nicely done. Nice character played by Jack Nicholson .
