Ang Lee‘s Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk (2016) movie trailer and movie poster star Joe Alwyn, Kristen Stewart, Vin Diesel, Garrett Hedlund, and Steve Martin. Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk‘s plot synopsis: based on the novel by Ben Fountain, “The film is told from the point of view of 19-year-old private Billy Lynn (newcomer Joe Alwyn) who, along with his fellow soldiers in Bravo Squad, becomes a hero after a harrowing Iraq battle and is brought home temporarily for a victory tour. Through flashbacks, culminating at the spectacular halftime show of the Thanksgiving Day football game, the film reveals what really happened to the squad – contrasting the realities of the war with America’s perceptions.”

I have been hearing about this film for over a year. I would seem all of the talk, all of the early buzz, was accurate. Present day scenes and flash backs seem like they will be the framework for this war / homeland film. This is a star-making role for Joe Alwyn. The weight of most of the film seems to be on his shoulders and it looks like Alwyn delivers with skilled supporting work by many notables.

Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk also stars Chris Tucker, Deirdre Lovejoy, Ben Platt, Tim Blake Nelson, Makenzie Leigh, Beau Knapp, Deena Dill, Kimberly Battista, Gregory Alan Williams, Astro, and Jackie Dallas.
