    I was really disappointed in this film.It started off really good but went really bad quickly.The movie is really slow considering the star power that was in this film.
  • November 18, 2007
    Not what I expected. However, gives you an eye opener of what our troops go through even after they make it home safely.
  • November 18, 2007
    The first 45 minutes were pretty good, and Jesscica Biel's character was interesting. The rest was badly written. I still thought it was a LITTLE bit realistic, for my dad himself went in Afghanistan for six months... Could have been A LOT better

    While its heart may be in the right place, the writing, the majority of the acting, the direction, pacing, musical score all felt like it was a bad Lifetime movie.
  • November 16, 2007
    Very good but at the same time very sad.
  • November 13, 2007
    i loved it i knew a few guys who came back from iraq all screwed up im having a hard time coping with some things too makes me feel like i want to go back to the navy

    I expected more from this movie. It was good though. It would've been a better movie if they didn't focus on so many different characters. They should've just made Samuel Jackson's character and Biel's character the focal point for this movie, then dug deeper into their lives.

    this was a fantastic movie
  • November 11, 2007
    a good movie.. brings you to reality and lets you be thankful we have our family's love and health
  • November 11, 2007
    This movie does a good job at exploring the reprocutions of war and the effect the war had on this group of people. The acting isn't that great, in fact there is no good acting in this movie but that doesn't stop the movie's message from getting through. I was kind of dissapointe...( read more)d that the movie didn't follow through with the story of the fallen soldier's family. The stories seemed to be realistic and that made the film enjoyable enough to watch. The acting and the quality of the movie really take from the movie being great, but it is a good movie to watch on DVD.
  • November 10, 2007
    It wasn't the greatest.
    50 Cent didn't really do that good compared to Get Rich or Die Tryin' but it was alright.

    The picture was bad, it felt an independent movie.
  • November 10, 2007
    Not great. The action was over in like 2 minutes.
  • November 6, 2007
    This was a good movie to see how it can be for soldiers to come home after serving in iraq.
  • November 6, 2007
    Very moving, does justice to what soldiers go through to some degree.
  • November 6, 2007
    Starts out kind of iffy, but I guess it has a good message at the end, depending on what you think about the war and why we're there to begin with.

    It's a good film, and worth watching, but most of the storylines seem to be laid on pretty thick. Plus, some of the acting is go...( read more)d awful (especially in the first half hour, and I now find myself wanting to shower after being subjected to 50 Cent).

    Not enough time is spent with Murray's character and his family/friends (Ricci's part is queerly small and a waste).

    Even tho it comes off a bit like an After School Special (where's Tracy Gold when you need her?), it's still worth the watch if only to stop and think for a moment.
  • November 5, 2007
    Weve seen this movie many times, and meny times weve heard about how difficult it is for soldiers coming back from war... but seeing it, is a whole different story. It a good movie, its worth watching and its touching from beginnig to end.
  • November 5, 2007
    This movie was terrible and I am surprised on how bad it was considering it had some good actors in it. Very boring and nothing realistic what so ever! This movie made the military and dependants look like idiots.
  • November 4, 2007

  • November 4, 2007

  • November 3, 2007

  • October 28, 2007
    This was so good. I watched it and it was probably the best movie i have seen in a really really long time. Presley is going to be a huge huge star!!
  • October 28, 2007
    I DONT BELIEVE IN WAR BUT THIS IS REALITY, THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STORY FOR PEOPLE WHO LIVE THIS DAY BY DAY. GREAT ONE.
  • October 27, 2007
    Very good movie, very heart touching and the acting is very good. Samuel Jackson does an excellent job of acting.

    Plot: This powerful film tells the story of four American soldiers nearing the end of their tours of duty in Iraq. Shortly after learning their unit will soon ret...( read more)urn home, they are sent on one final humanitarian mission and the unit is ambushed. With many lives lost, the surviving troops suffer both physical and psychological injuries. Now, as they return to the United States, four soldiers must face memories of the past as they look towards the future and return to civilian life.
  • October 26, 2007
    A good look at what happens in war. It's necessary but we should respect and cherish our soldiers, instead of just paying them lip service.
  • October 25, 2007
    Impressive for a straight-to-DVD movie!!!
  • October 25, 2007
    A disturbing yet realistic look at what soldiers returning from war must try to deal with as they try to regain some normalcy into there lives after the hell of war.
  • October 24, 2007
    Best Movie that I have seen in a long time!!!! Everyone coming back from Iraq or over seas should see this, and everyone else too.
  • October 22, 2007
    amazing film. a gripping story about soliders coming home from war and they arent much in the world we live in but are better in theirs. excellent cast. jessica biel in my opinion outshines everyone in the movie and proves that she is worthy as an A-list actress and to add to tha...( read more)t she is beautiful
  • October 11, 2007
    Not sure what makes any movie producer think 50 Cent can act. He has no stage training and his other movie, Get Rich or Die Trying, sucked donkey testicles, mainly because he has the acting range of a door knob.
  • September 13, 2007
    I like Jessica Biel as an actress, but I never watch R rated movies.
  • September 2, 2007
    Not bad, but felt as though it was missing something.... Maybe they could have developed the characters more before they came home.
  • August 29, 2007
    good movie about the military
  • August 26, 2007
    Not bad, but felt as though it was missing something.... Maybe they could have developed the characters more before they came home.
  • August 21, 2007
    yeah its alright patritoic
  • August 18, 2007
    Very let down. Slow moving story, but interesting and probably very realistic in the aftermath of war.
  • August 7, 2007
    While this film had a lot of potential to be a powerful and insightful look on the everyday hardships of the soldiers who returned home from the current war in Iraq, but sadly it becomes a clichéd and somewhat dull 'T.V. movie of the week'. The stories all seemed very forced and ...( read more)unemotional. In all honesty I didn't buy into or care about the 'hard times' for any of the characters. Some of performances were good (Samuel L. Jackson and Brian Presley were solid but Jessica Biel and Curtis '50 Cent' Jackson's performances were pretty average). It has it moments here and there but it could have been so much more.
  • August 6, 2007
    I cried when chad was killed! such a moving film
  • August 1, 2007
    excellant movie that lets you into the lives of American soldiers who have been to war and how their lives were impacted.
