It's hard for me to give something a 10 out of 10 but this movie comes very close. Why it took me so long to see this movie is beyond me, but I am glad I finally got to watch a true great piece of cinema. Jim Carrey easily fills a dramatic role, much to most people's surprise. I can think of every movie I've seen him star in and, although most comedies, there were always glimmers of drama that he delivered that would draw in an audience. Think his speech about being "a nobody" in Dumb and Dumber, think of him telling his on screen son that he wasn't lying in Liar Liar. Think of The Truman Show, and tell me he doesn't have talent beyond comedy. Great supporting cast, of course with Martin Landau leading the front.

Now something more personal, for this vet of the new war. I loved this piece because it sent a different message, if only I saw it. It showed that not only the people who actually fight in a war, are the heroes. It helped show that everyone involved in any war should be considered a hero. I personally was touched by the mentioning of the Bill of Rights and reminding people, even today, what soldiers like me and many others still fight for.
