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 )
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 )
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.
This film is about the American soldiers over in Iraq, how the war scarred them both physically, mentally, and emotionaly, and how they deal with it when they come back home. Great performances by Samuel L. Jackson, Jessica Biel, and Curtis Jackson a.k.a. 50 Cent. I think Brian P... ...( read more )
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 )
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.
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 )
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.
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!
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 )
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... ...( read more )
Well most of these actors are not that great, but it doesn't mean there can't be a good message here.
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 )
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
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 )
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.
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.
This powerful film tells the story of four American soldiers nearing the end of their tours of duty ...
it made me like ched michael murray. it reaally show off his skill as an actor not just some who loos good. i also find this movie weell writen and diracted. I reaaly enjoyed this flim even thought i'm not a big fan of these actors
This movie had so much potential... but really did not deliver as much as I expected; it did, however, show an interesting and different perspective on war and its effect on veterans
I don't know why this movie got such a bad rating on IMDB. Maybe because it is politically delicate and also because some people may have thought this was supposed to be an action movie but it isn't. I have to agree that some acting is awkward and there are some clichés, but I ... ...( read more )
