Leave your thoughts about Article 99.
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatScores some good points with its moral condemnation of an institution that puts saving money ahead of saving lives. |
| Kansas City KansanSteve CrumIt tries to be satirical and valiant, but doesn't quite get there. |
| Hartford CourantMalcolm JohnsonArticle 99 is too good to be true -- even with its mildly stinging epilogue. |
| User ReviewDrew HIf you haven't seen this movie then I recommend it, kinda like a modern day M*A*S*H, but instead of a far off distant country the war is right here at home, as a group of doctors have to break every rule in the book to defeat a corrupt system and get America's war veterans the treatment they deserve. |
| User ReviewFrances HThis film is a very insistent reminder of what we owe to the men and women who fought our country's battles, laying their lives on the line for us all for very little pay. The very least we owe them is what they were promised--that their country would take care of their health. I thought this film was well acted and made a very important point, one that needs to be reiterated again and again. |
| User ReviewSundown TThis is such a true and good movie. I have seen it alot of times. |
| User ReviewKeith LThis is one of the best films of the early 1990's. A forgotten gem. You may be interested in knowing that it is made by the same person who created Scrubs. You all should see it |
| User ReviewSarah Tammy MarieAll professionals in health care should watch this movie, I work with cardiologist and have suggested to all of them to watch this movie. Some things appear silly but the obvious state of our health care situation is true to this movie. |
| User ReviewCameron SGreat movie. Acting is alright. More importantly is the message that it gives. This is a movie stands up for the rights of veterans for health care. |
| User ReviewGayle WOutstanding cast, highly controversial topic especially in todays political climate. As an employee of the NHS this film rang true on many levels! Bravo, thoroughly enjoyable. |
