Average Rating: 
Rating:  - M*A*S*H Revisited
This is a great movie that shows the state of government red tape in the care of those who defended our freedom. It does tend to overplay the actions of the doctors a bit, but overall it is a good movie. It reminds of M*A*S*H a great deal. Ray Liotas character is Hawkeye, Sutherlands character is BJ and several other chracters are definetly M*A*S*H rewrites.
Rating: - Too True NOT To Watch If You Care About Our Vets
Sure, there are a lot of hokey, campy, surreal things in the film, but Article 99 (much like M*A*S*H) served-SERVES-to remind us how deeply flawed our VA system is when it comes to its job...caring for those of us who served our country. We've had benefits cut we were promised, denied other benefits, had more denied to us than we imagined...so yes, Article 99 is almost TOO true.
The 'over the topness' of parts of the film only serve as comic relief to tamp down the dreadfulness that ... Read More
Rating: - Great movie although not well known.
Lots of well-known actors star in this film: Ray Liotta, Kiefer Sutherland, Forest Whitaker, Lea Thompson, Eli Wallach, Keith David, but it is not a well-known film. A lot of people have not even heard of it. But that doesn't change the fact that this movie is great. It's very well written, directed and acted. It is action packed right from the beginning. The theme surrounds the poor medical care given to our war veterans and how the legislature Article 99 is actually a conspiracy to deny the ... Read More
Rating: - Article 99
Article 99 offer a compelling look at the care given to our country's veterans due to budget cuts and misplaced priorities.
The entertaining cast of characters use a bit of comic relief, as in MASH, to bring the point home. Outstanding performances by a young Kiefer Sutherland, Forrest Whitaker, Ray Liotta, Lea Thompson and Ely Wallach put a human face on an impersonal government run hospital.

Rating: - A failing system gets turned on its head
Imagine if you will, a veterans administration hospital that is completely mired in politics but is full of veterans that are denied the treatment they rightly deserve and expect. You've just entered......the Red Tape Zone.
In a time of crisis, you learn to be creative, sneaky and employ any usable methods that enable you to do the right thing. This is the premise of `Article 99' in which a dedicated and conscientious group of doctors do what they can, however they can, to help the ... Read More
