I actually DO like Lt. Williams in all his grumpy "no BS"-fashion. 
I find this movie particularly interesting as the final act hits me emotionally no matter how often I revisit it. |
I remember that debate as well. I posted a fair bit and I haven't even seen it!
Jack Hedley's a likable actor, I feel, and maybe that comes across in his portrayal.
Yes, the ending packs an emotional wallop.
