Does patriotism mean never questioning your government? Recent decades have shown most Americans that whether it was Nixon, Reagan, Clinton, W or Obama that you hated, you can’t always stand 100 percent behind your government in good conscience. Oliver Stone harnesses Tom Cruise’s intensity (in an early dramatic role for which he was Oscar-nominated) in a biopic of veteran turned paraplegic Vietnam protestor Ron Kovick.
