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.
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.
This is the most true to life story about the war that I have seen yet.
Glad to see a movie finally attempted to show what soldiers go through post-war.
This powerful film tells the story of four American soldiers nearing the end of their tours of duty ...
This movie had some great actors in it, however it was poorly written so it wasn't that great.
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
Annorlunda film, kul att få se kriget från ett annat perspektiv. Bra skådespelare
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
good movie it was filmed in Spocompton too that was sick i reconized most of the places
This was an okay movie. It was very long and drawn out. Not what I was expecting from it at all.
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)
Unflinching drama about a group of soldiers returning home from the Iraq War and trying to get on with their lives. Starts off with a gripping battle scene, then settles down into a strong dramatic piece. Tends to get a little too much at times but still is compelling stuff. A st...( read more)
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 don't give a damn what anyone says...this is shit that happens to soldiers when they come back. Not all of them...but look what young people go through and give up for us!
Great Performances. Shows what some soldiers go through once they return
Très belle scène d'action réaliste au début. Par la suite, ça devient beaucoup plus un débat sur la guerre et une histoire à propos des effets sur les anciens soldats. Quand même intéressant puisque pas pro-guerre, il reste que le débat n'est pas assez poussé.
Begins with rather stale war scenes though the effort was there to make them harrowing was obviously lost in the editing booth, despite it´s "starry" actors with solid performances for the most part, works better as a TV movie than a cinematic experience, if it´s a modern war mov...( read more)
