This movie stunned me as a young man. Oliver Stone's admitted fictionalized elements weakened the impact as I learned of them, and my opinion of this film has waned over the years as a result. That said, the film remains and impressive piece of film. Walter Matthau and John Candy have great small roles, as does Donald Sutherland. Watch the movie, just don't assume that Oliver has fact checked everything. This is drama, not documentary.
