SEMPER FI

Movies I Love That No One Talks About - A podcast by Dan Benamor

Categories:

The director and co-writer of this film, Henry Alex Rubin, who also directed the acclaimed documentary MURDERBALL, comes on the show to talk about SEMPER FI. This movie quietly came and went, but unfairly so. It's a heartfelt, engaging, grounded, and compelling portrait of military life, friendship, loyalty, and the burden of brotherly love. Jai Courtney gives his best screen performance and shows he will have a career long after he stops doing action films as a straight-up dramatic actor. Nat Wolff crushes the archetypal troubled brother part, a reliable showcase for actors that proves so once again here. When people talk about the movies that don't get made that much anymore, they're talking about this movie.
