Well worth your time and money
I sometimes think the critics and a lot of fans expect every movie to be Oscar quality! Well life is just not that way and sometimes you find little gems if you have the patience and imagination to put yourself into the situation. Here we have 3 terrific versatile actors, a good director Neil Berger in a movie about one guy who has completed his tour Tim Robbins, one wouded girl on leave Rachel Mc Adams, and a guy also wounded home on leave. They meet up and share a ride so we end up on a road trip. They all have wounds beyond physical of course and the transition from war and dreadful sudden death, loss of buddies home to US is a tough one for all wars! Some people think you are heroes, some laugh and make fun of you, some are hostile! Off we go from there. Fine acting from all concerned an absorbing story, much more real than the critics seem to realise. Give it a go, it has humor, pathos, fighting everything in a dramatic slice of life.
