The Last Rifleman

Just widowed, diabetic, and 92, WWII veteran Artie Crawford (Pierce Brosnan) was determined to slip his Belfast nursing home, make it to Normandy, and attend the 75th Anniversary D-Day commemoration. His improbable odyssey, marked by encounters with helpful strangers as well as the persistent ghosts of his past, is memorably chronicled in this wistful, fact-inspired effort; Clémence Poésy, Jürgen Prochnow, Desmond Eastwood and, in his last performance, John Amos also star. 95 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.
