I went on off chance after seeing it on app was on 11am Tuesday. I didn't realise it was a senior service viewing as I had just wanted to see the film after winning Oscar.
It was great from start to finish, Ben Affleck acting with amazing (and he was directing it as well). The 2 LA producers were great in there roles as well. The pace of the story was great with will they, it was good to see the ending as well. Also with only 2 adverts before film starts was really good. The hall was very full and you can see why.

not a bad film, a lot of politics and a lot of scenes in the office, wouldn't say it's as good as it's hyped up to be.. The story itself is very cool just seems like a hero story for america and ben affleck...
