Scott Huffman (Sebastian Stan) is a happily married young man (to Alison Sadoul) and a member of the Pentagon who is tasked with reviewing the posthumous decoration of a Vietnam War veteran. This is William H. Pitsenbarger (Jeremy Irvine), a paramedic who saved more than 60 lives in the Vietnam conflict. Scott Huffman is a young member of the Pentagon who is tasked with reviewing the posthumous decoration of a Vietnam War veteran. Scott Huffman doggedly investigates a Congressional Medal of Honor application for Pitsenbarger and uncovers a high-level conspiracy behind the decades-long denial of the medal, leading Huffman to risk his own career to seek justice for the fallen airman. The supreme sacrifice deserves the greatest honor!
It is an interesting drama inspired by the incredible true story of one man's tenacious struggle to discover the truth about the death of a soldier that occurred long ago during the Vietnam War, and there are even interviews with real airmen and soldiers who met Pitsenbarger, the paramedic who saved more than 60 lives in the Vietnam conflict. To do this, our protagonist encounters many obstacles, while interviewing those who participated in the battle in which our hero died, and even travels to the same place of events in Vietnam to find a main witness. The film is well shot with serenity, sensitivity and sense of style. An acceptable war drama that tells the true story of William H. Pitsenbarger and the investigation that Huffman carried out. Compiling the testimonies of veterans who knew him and claimed the Medal of Valor for his colleague 34 years after his death. As Huffman delves deeper into Pitsenbarger's heroic story, what seemed like a mere bureaucratic process becomes a passionate struggle to do justice to the memory of the soldier to be decorated.
Well directed by Todd Robinson (Phantom) and starring Sebastian Stan (Captain America, Winter Soldier), the film features film veteran actors playing Vietnam veterans who interacted with the soldier, such as: Samuel L Jackson, Ed Harris, Dale Dye and John Savage from 'The Hunter'. The cast is completed by other younger actors such as Jeremy Irvine (War Horse), in the role of the hero Pitsenbarger, and Alison Sadoul (Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them) and Bradley Whitford (The Handmaid's Tale), Linus Roache (Mandy) and the already very old Christopher Plummer and Gena Rowlands. The film's large cast includes two Oscar winners: William Hurt and Christopher Plummer; and five Oscar nominees: Samuel L. Jackson, Ed Harris, Amy Madigan, Diane Ladd and Peter Fonda. And this is the last live-action film by Christopher Plummer and Peter Fonda, in fact the film is dedicated to the memory of Peter Fonda. The last Full Measure (2019) rating: 6/10. It is an acceptable and decent film that will attract due to its human values and the long list of well-known actors who act in it.
