So- I was lucky enough to attend this premier in Pitts’ home town of Piqua, Ohio. I met some of the soldiers he saved and heard the story of that day- which is absolutely insane.
I loved the movie, but I’m obviously biased. If you’re looking for a ‘Black Hawk Down’ sort of movie (all action) you’re in the wrong place; this movie does an amazing job of telling the true story of Pitts and the fight to get him the MOH 52 years after the event. Think courtroom suspense with a side of action (they depict the battle Operation Abilene pretty well).
All in all- if you’re connected to the story in any way, or want to see Samuel L JACKSON turn in a hell of a performance (Sebastian Stan too) then go right now. It’s worth it.
