I saw them both, and liked both about the same. Neither had as much action as I expected. Flags had too much "Chief" (Ira) in it, more about him than Iwo.
Letters had a bit more reality to it IMO, and more about Iwo and less about the trials and tribulations of one man/ (bond tour).
No hope of help or victory, only the certainty of death by one side, or the other, or yourself.
