Flags of Our Fathers (2006) starring Ryan Phillippe, Jesse Bradford, Adam Beach, Jamie Bell, Barry Pepper, Tom Verica, Paul Walker, Robert Patrick, Neal McDonough. Clint Eastwood directed this World War II drama that tells the story of the small band of soldiers that were famously photographed raising the American flag on a mountain on the Japanese island of Iwo Jima. Based on the book of the same name, the film reconstructs the events that preceded and followed the snapping of the photo. The parts of this movie are admirable, but it's a little over-ambitious, overlong and over-stuffed. Grade: B+
