 Iraq Soldier bashing movie April 20, 2008
14 out of 27 found this review helpful
This movie was a stereo-typical Hollywood expose
of the problems with those who come back from Iraq.
It is anti-war and more typical of Hollywood than of
reality. The plot was symplistic and so PC you can
guess exactly how each plot sequence is going to work
(boring). It ends up with a Jane Fonda / John Kerry
view of our troops as torturers and murderers. Having
a son in the military I see this as simple American bashing
troop hate speech so typically the Hollywood elites who
seem to be more into America bashing propaganda than
finding out what is really going on in Iraq. One story
is taken and blown up as if it is the norm. Why is it
I never see any stories telling the wonderful things are
troops our doing in Iraq come out of Hollywood. Monolithic,
1984 same-think with never a dissenting voice. Really sad
that our troops daily put their lives on the line while
Hollywood rips up and smears our young men and women.
It ends with an upside down flag flying. The folks in
Hollywood seem stuck in their old Vietnam anti-troop mode.
What a shame. Don't waste your time on this movie. Just
another Jane Fonda American bashing Hollywood perversion
of reality hardly "cutting edge." Stereo-typical and boring.
Another statement on the war in Iraq April 17, 2008

For those of us who are veterans, this film explores some of the extremely negative effects that a war can have on an individual.
As many families have discovered in this war the punishment isn't only to the enemy? but to so many Americans that it is incredibly sad, and I think that our men who serve our country should be given serious evaluation periodically while in a war zone, and as soon as they return to the U.S.
In this film Tommy Lee Jones plays the father of a highly patriotic son. Tommy Lee' search to find out about his sons death takes him and his family through places that most of us just do not hear much or anything about.
The film is well cast and the characters are people you would recognize all over the U.S. Making this journey an significant, meaningful film that is very much worth seeing. For both the outstanding performances and the tragic story it tells.

It is hard to review this film without giving up info that
should be reserved for the viewer. Suffice to say, this slow moving,
superbly acted gem cuts like a knife and then stabs at the heart and
soul of the viewer. We know people like these portrayed. We feel
their hurt, angst and frustration.
To say more would ruin the plot. I just hope it stays with you as
long as it did with me.
Great film.

Right in, just for elections!!!I question myself why I even watched that movie...Weak and inconsistent story line,bah there is really no story just smearing american soldiers seems sole purpose that movie was made for!!!!Good part there was very little mrs Sarandon present.Mr Jones is getting very old tired and his acting is more like a robot than a human.Dont waste your money I can send you my disk if you must see it I am not watching that movie again in my lifetime,if you suport your troops don't "bring it home"
