This medical drama was great. Ray Liotta, Kiefer Sutherland, Forest Whitaker, Lea Thompson, Keith David, John Mahoney, John C. McGinley, Eli Wallach, Kathy Baker, and the rest of the cast did a great job in this movie. The story of the movie was dramatic, inspirational, and heartfelt. It's about fighting for the greater good and caring for others that need help. If you haven't seen this movie yet, check it out sometime. It's worth watching. Don't listen to the bad reviews this movie has gotten, those people have terrible tastes in movies. They can't see why it's a good movie.

A great movie showing how the VA operates. It's horrible how much bureaucratic red tape there is and it is the veterans who pay the price. It shows the politicians don't care about the soldiers. As someone who is from a military family, one will be disgusted by the hospital admin. Only caring about the all mighty dollar and not the soldiers there trying to get the services they need. #lifetimepayforsoldiers

A MASH wannabe with a Veteran's hospital in place of the 4077 that falls short.

Article 99, which wants to be the MASH of veteran's hospitals, filled me with a great unease as I was watching it.

Article 99 is too good to be true -- even with its mildly stinging epilogue.
