Flynn disappoints on multiple fronts, failing to deliver a balanced or engaging narrative. The film is marred by a one-sided portrayal that seeks to glorify Flynn and cast him in a heroic light, often at the expense of nuance and factual accuracy. It indulges in excessive self-aggrandizement, presenting Flynn as an ultimately infallible figure, a narrative choice that feels more like a public relations exercise than a genuine attempt at storytelling.
The script is laden with clichés and lacks the depth needed to explore the complexities of Flynn's career and controversies. The direction is uninspired, with scenes that seem designed more to bolster Flynn's image than to provide an objective account of his actions and decisions. The portrayal of key events in Flynn's career is overly simplistic, glossing over critical details and controversies that are essential to understanding the full picture.
Moreover, the film's pacing is erratic, with slow, tedious stretches that fail to build any real tension or engagement. The characters, including Flynn himself, are depicted in a flat, unconvincing manner, making it difficult for viewers to invest in their stories. The lack of critical examination or balanced viewpoints leaves the film feeling shallow and unfulfilling.
In the end, Flynn falls short of being a compelling biopic or a credible historical account. It comes across as an overt attempt to rehabilitate Flynn's image rather than a genuine exploration of his life and career. This approach not only undermines the film's credibility but also alienates viewers seeking an insightful and balanced perspective. Overall, it is a missed opportunity to engage with a controversial figure's complex legacy in a meaningful way.

General Mike Flynn is a true American patriot and the story about what he went through, the political persecution, gives great insight into what can actually happen to leadership in our country today. Not even honorably serving your country can protect you. Highly recommend watching this movie with an open mind.
One of the other reviews of this movie here is a disingenuous take by someone attacking General Mike Flynn and not actually talking about the movies. The review titled: "A documentary that praises treason" is written by a radical on the left that didn't even watch the movie. That's the type of person that General Mike Flynn was up against, unhinged radicals, communists, on the left that have nothing but hatred in their hearts.

An amazing authentic heartfelt documentary about a real American patriot who loved his family and served his country with honor and distinction, despite how the Washington swamp tried to do all it could to destroy him and what he loved the most because he got in their way. This is an in-depth look at what really happened to General Flynn and by extension, the country.
The film not only moved me to tears, it left me feeling encouraged that good people who fight for the soul of America and suffer grave injustice for their service can still prevail.
The documentary is not only intriguing, feeling like a political thriller throughout, but at many points it's raw with emotion. It's hard to imagine any honest person watching this would not be moved to want to cheer at the end for the underdog.
The message I got from the movie was about how faith is tested and how heroes and leaders are forged. It's a reminder that what it means to be an American is not the U. S. Government. It's in the hearts of people like the Flynn's and all the those who sacrificed and dared to do the right thing, even when the most powerful forces were against them.

All the 1 star reviews just tells you this movie exposes too much truth. And people who have fallen for government (Democrat) propaganda can't handle their lies being exposed.
The truth is, the US government and intelligence community is a criminal organization and they want there to be perpetual wars so they can profit off of it. Any reasons they give for the wars are fake. General Flynn and Trump are true patriots that actually wanted to put an end to the military industrial complex, but they've been sabotaged from within at every turn. All the criminal charges and media perceptions of these 2 men are because the intel community wants to maintain their power and source of money.

This movie shows haw corrupt both Political Parties in the US are. Anybody who is politically aware, knows that the Russian Collusion, in the Trump, administration was One Big Lie. The ones who were accusing Trump, and General Flynn, of collusion with the Russians are the ones who fabricated all of the Lies and have proven that they are guilty, and all the concrete evidence against them, is out there. After the 2020 election, Pence, showed his true colors and now is one of the most hated politicians in his party. General Flynn was going to expose the corruption and stop some of the pork spending, and the corrupt politicians on both sides of the aisle did not want to be implicated, so they went after General Flynn. They were also trying to go after General Flynn, by implicating that his son who he was in business with, committed a crime. The pathetic, corrupt politicians, do not care how many innocent lives that they destroy to accomplish their goal. They have also done the same to Alex Jones. This movie tells what General Flynn, had to go through to prove his innocence and show the corruption in the government, which is being exposed more everyday.
