When 19-year-old Billy Lynn (Joe Alwyn) is brought home for a victory tour after serving in a monumental battle in Iraq, he discovers that what the American people are led to believe happens at war is very different from the reality. While Billy is awarded the prestigious Silver Star and is asked to be part of a halftime show at a Thanksgiving Day football game, he struggles to deal with his new life and being branded a hero for what he will forever remember as the worst day of his life. (Universal Sony Pictures Home Entertainment)

Ang Lee is a good director, and I don't think anyone doubts that. Additionally, this is a film that has a lot of good elements like cinematography, editing, pacing, scene transitions, but the most important aspect, what the film should actually convey, is simply delivered weakly and doesn't really lead anywhere. But it might make you think about how pointless war is and what we consider heroism.
