| User ReviewKristen OThis movie is the amazingly true story of John McCain in his time as a POW in Hanoi. He was tortured and held captive for 5 years. This movie proves that John McCain is the only presidential candidate who is worthy to be our next president! |
| User ReviewIda KI think everyone should watch this film before they vote in November. There is no better leader for our country. I may not agree with every position he's taken, but he is certainly the best man for the job in our country's time of peril. No one can say he will waffle. |
| User ReviewElise HWow. What a great movie. It shows just how much of a hero McCain is. |
| User ReviewNate BI loved it! It just shows how America really owed him that presidency |
| User ReviewJoseph KGreat movie detailing the treatment John McCain endured as a POW in Vietnam. A great look at how a person can endure almost anything if they believe in their values. |
| User ReviewAddison PI enjoyed this movie, it showed how terrible POW's are treated. Also how amazing of a soldier John McCain was, not leaving... |
| User ReviewPrivate UThe incredible true story of John McCain. Up until he became a GOP asshole, that is. |
| User ReviewShaun BAbove average telling of John McCain's war years. |
| User ReviewJames HPRETTY GOOD. NICELY ACTED, BUT IT JUST HAS THAT MADE FOR TELEVISION LOOK I HATE. I FOUND IT VERY DISTRACTING. WELL PHOTOGRAPHED. |
| User ReviewMichael AMy Pa taped this for me off of A&E. The actor playing McCain was not good at all. I learned next to nothing. Slow moving. Not a good movie. Definitely "made-for-TV". Welcome home, Johnny. |
