    This is not a war movie... it's a movie about war. Home of the Brave has been the best movie to date on the psychological effects our soldiers endure when they return home from Iraq. It's riveting to see the demons they face. Truly inspirational... And don't worry about propag...( read more)anda because it's neither Pro nor Anti War, the film does a great job of remaining completely neutral.

    This film boasts an A list cast with Samuel L. Jackson, Jessica Biel, Christina Ricci, Chad Michael Murray, Brian Presley, and 50 Cent, who was surprisingly impressive in this action drama.

    Don't be fooled, if you're looking for a movie chalk full of dead bodies, blood, and missing limbs, then this is not for you. The first 20 minutes is intense however (think Black Hawk Down), but the remainder of the movie is deep and touching.

    Okay plain and simple, this movie is definitely similar to the film "Raising Flagg." Average, boring, random plot line, yet it contained some strong cast members who pretty much saved this film from being a disaster. So why is this movie such a disaster, you may ask? Plain and si...( read more)mple. It's a boring script which was probably written without any heart, considering how hollow the lines seemed to be. Nothing seemed to work with the scenes no matter who was in it.

    However some of the cast saved it from totally failing itself. If there were only minor actors who have had no previous experience it would have been pathetic.

    Good film.On the lines of the deer hunter but with the war focus on Iraq and with the dealing of today. Fine performance all round, Jessica Biel prove she more than a pretty face with Sam Jackson doing a fine job.All in all a good film with a bit of through.

    I didn't like the acting. It was kind of depressing, but, had some funny scenes, not sure if they were intended.

    Politically level, yet bland and overwrought Iraqi vet drama.

    Just seen this movie, and it was really good. Really surprised by Jessica Biels acting...Haven't seen her in any films besides one.. and it was some baseball flick with Freddy Prince Jr. It was nice to see her in a serious role and do it well. Makes you take a look at life after...( read more) the war, and how it affects everyone different. I found it to be really sad, and what they said in the movie is true. No one is really thinking about whats going on over there unless they have been through it or have a family member in it. Sad..

    I think everyone should see this film. It shows just a part of the lives of families and the soldiers who r so messed up and just need love and help. It does not take much but their mental state is so out of focus and they don't even realize it They serve and fight for our freedo...( read more)m and some people just don't get it.In turn some must go back in the field just to survive from the horror.Home is no longer there.
