Post-traumatic exorcism

Operation Abilene was one of the bloodiest battles in the entire Vietnam War. Fifty years later, they are seeking justice for one soldier whose effort and courage saved a many lives. Private Pitsenbarger - a legend among troops - should deserve the Medal of Honor, the highest declaration of war, posthumously. The case and investigations within are given to a hotshot Pentagon staffer who interviews, albeit reluctantly at first, the people how knew and fought with William Pitsenbarger. And it's reminiscences of the war all the way to the end. Bit of a bore and airbrushed sentimental bullshit, to be honest, but a pretty cool cast of William Hurt, Christopher Plummer, Samuel L. Jackson, Ed Harris and Peter Fonda (his last movie) at least.

That kid ain't a killer

A hitchhiker leaves quite a many dead people in his wake. A young man escapes the clutches of him and is subsequently stalked by the fucker....
