Kimberly Pierce (who gave us BOYS DON'T CRY) pulls off another intensely intimate drama about small, seemingly unimportant lives thrust into a quagmire of calamity. Here the examination focuses on Iraqi War soldiers being returned to duty after their required tour is legitimately done. Pyan Phillippe is the young, disenchanted man who goes awol after he is stop-lossed and goes on the run from family and friends. Incredibly moving portrait also here as we see the lives of other returning soldiers totally devastated by the ravages of combat. Very thoughtful, realistic script and gritty, put-you-right-down-in-the-middle of the horrors of war. Excellent performances all the way aruond, especially by Abbie Cornish playing the helpful ex-girlfriend and Joseph Gordon-Levitt as a young man coming back home very disturbed from his time oversees. Harrowing and heartfelt drama with nary a false-step.
This movie was pretty good. I enjoyed the special features on the DVD. It was interesting to see how the characters prepared for this movie. I would recommend this movie to anyone over the age of 18.
great moviesome cool goregood actors
Typical Mtv movie!!! I served 2 years in Iraq and if my country needed me to go back over there, I would not hesitate to do so. All of us military personell know what we are getting ourselves into. Unfortunatley some people join the military for the wrong reasons. My choice was clear when I joined the Marine Corps. I knew it was possible for me to get called back at a moments notice. A little advice to everyone out there...never sign a contract without reading it. I served 4 years active duty and I also have to serve 4 years inactive duty. If anything breaks out from my last day of active duty-present, I know I will be shipping out again. I served my country with honor and commitment. I was just glad to see the actor get back on the bus in the end to fulfill his duty as a soldier. Overall the combat scenes were pretty good in this movie BUT it is a waste 113 minutes I will never get back.
It should be required viewing for all adults and high school seniors.
