    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.

    Soliders returning home from Iraq.
  • April 10, 2009
    Not bad - could of been better as reminded me of all the previous post Vietnam War films and how the soldiers were trying to recover from it. Good acting from the cast though.

    Wow! I was expecting a war movie but turned out to be very different and yet so good. The after war effects on soldiers. Very well told. Highly recommended.

    Lo peor de estas pelis es q la realidad es asi o peor... Para reflexionar

    Loved it will watch it over and over!
  • January 10, 2009
    No thankyou - Not interested.
  • November 2, 2008
    It was very good in that way that they showed how soldiers lifes really are after they have been in a war. Wars are terrible things, and I feel sorry for all those who comes back and have these awful memories. All actors did well, and even Chad Michael Murray pulled it off! I rea...( read more)lly didn't think he could do movies like this =P
    And Jessica Biel as a MOM, that's weird, but I got used to it. Samuel L. Jackson, cool dude :D
    And then there was 50 Cent, wow, wow, whoa! ^^
    Christina Ricci had a much to little role too say anything about, and then there was Brian Presly. Well I can't recall seeing him in anything but this now, he was good. He might be one of my new fave actors =P

    Very good war movie, but moved slowly in some parts.
  • October 10, 2008
    Lots of stories going on at one time!
  • October 8, 2008
    The film felt like a therapy session. While the acting performances are outstanding, and the subject matter is powerful, there really is no closure for the film or its characters.
    While I understand the point of the somber issues, the film still left me feeling a little empty.
  • September 25, 2008
    its more funny than serious
  • September 23, 2008
    A real stand out movie
  • August 7, 2008
    Very good movie....really sheds light on how war effects soldier's minds.
  • July 27, 2008
    not my favorite war movie, but fairly decent
  • July 24, 2008
    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.
  • July 23, 2008
    Draggy soppy war dramas starring Jessica Biel are what is wrong with cinema. They tease us with the promise of Christina Ricci and although her 3 minutes of screentime are divine, the rest is complete bollocks, do not watch it!
  • July 22, 2008
    Those who have watch this film would have realised how a threatening life was in army men's and women's who r sighting for their country... good feelings packed and i really like the screenplay it made me to scratch a lot in my heart for many hours... nice acting by all and wonde...( read more)rful story line made me impressed a lot... good film totally PLEASE NO WAR...
  • July 17, 2008
    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.

    2.5/5
  • July 13, 2008
    Very good movie. Depicts what happens to many soldiers after the war. Post dramatic stress and dealing with change. Shows the harsh aftermath that men and women go through when they returned home. I have experienced this first hand with family members that came back from Iraq!
  • July 10, 2008
    Well most of these actors are not that great, but it doesn't mean there can't be a good message here.
  • July 8, 2008
    50 Cent in a movie? YEAHHHHHHH RIGHT!...BLEHHHH
  • June 23, 2008
    a very different war movie top notch
  • June 15, 2008
    I thought this was a great movie. I dont know how people thought it was a flop - it shows a side of the war that many movies are afraid to tackle, the aftermath.

    The movie takes an emotional ride through being there, leaving there, and surviving afterwords. It's done well and...( read more) does justice for those who served and are dealing with hardships still today. It was a great cast and a great movie.
  • June 15, 2008
    I found myself fast forwarding this one just to get through it....again when bad movies happen to good actors....let me re-phrase it wasn't that bad just boring as hell
  • May 30, 2008
    quite powerful movie
  • May 9, 2008
    SAW SOME OF THIS IN CLASS, SEEMS INTERESTING
  • May 8, 2008
    a interesting story, showing troops during and after theyve returned home to america after serving in irak in the current war, from samuel l jacksons surgeon, turned alchololic, to jesssica alba coming to terms loosing a hand in a attack, and variouis other troops turned civilia...( read more)ns, and the events they have to face and prepare for, the story is well acted throughout, and all storys are engageing to watch, sometimes comes off as a tv movie of the week, but direction is solid, and is never dull, and film starts great when in irak, a firefight breaks out, a good opener.
  • May 5, 2008
    This movie presents family matters over war with some heartbreaking reality. It's even quite unusual to see a war movie of this kind, without the classic heroizing of soldiers or their actions, and i'ts great. There are some very powerfull scenes, fed by good camera shooting.
  • April 30, 2008
    Very well done movie that I think portrays the effects of battle on soldiers. I think they should make more movies of this caliber. Jessica Biel and Brian Presley are very good.
  • April 20, 2008
    An interesting movie!!
  • April 13, 2008
    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.
  • April 7, 2008
    Could've been better.......
  • April 7, 2008
    This is the most true to life story about the war that I have seen yet.
  • April 1, 2008
    Enjoyable film, well acted and topical
  • March 27, 2008
    Glad to see a movie finally attempted to show what soldiers go through post-war.
  • March 23, 2008
    This powerful film tells the story of four American soldiers nearing the end of their tours of duty ...
  • March 16, 2008
