  • VERY BAD

    Honestly this movie could have been much better. It had a good story, but the acting failed miserably. It just seems like the actors did not put enough emotion and feeling into their characters. The worst had to be Samuel L. Jackson. Sam is an A-list actor and his movies are pretty good, but this was just awful.
  • Accurate depiction of a war vet's struggles

    I took the time to write this review because of the pathetic "professional" reviews on rotten tomo...I applaud the writers/producers/director/actors of this movie--you did my brothers/sisters in arms justice. Thank you, incredibly accurate and moving.
  • Solid effort

    An overall incredibly powerful depiction of the challenges of readjusting to the trauma of war as Iraq war vets return to the U.S. I found it both compelling and revealing, as well as both sad and inspirational. I would add well acted and solid story-telling. I am sure that some of the critics of the movie were disappointed that the military wasn't cast in a negative way. I would vote for more movies on war in the Middle East - especially as that important part of the world continues to be in foment. As long as they are reasonable accurate and not anti-American, they can help us all understand the impact on our society and country.

    This movie most will completely never see for it's true ability to allow the viewer to step inside a war vet's life upon the return to the USA. Most will see a vet as a crazy cracked up person, but the storyline does a great job of putting the viewer in the vet's shoes. Most will never understand what being in a 21st century is like, nor will they understand the very personal struggles that the vet will undergo upon there return. Please watch with an open mind, and thank a vet, no matter what they did while serving you, and the USA.
  • Love It!
