Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined

MonsterPerfect Good idea lost in the noise

ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

aphrodisiaciix ... Old men sending young men into war to be killed, maimed (physically and mentally) for oil, natural resources, money, power, politics, and egos. Our nation's fighting forces are disguised mercenaries for hire to the nation's big corporations and their CEOs. Young people join the services should know one plain and simple fact: You are freely signing up for a job to kill or be killed... and it has nothing to do with those big fancy words that your government and leaders have drilled into your heads such as: Democracy, Freedom, Justice, Peace, Liberty, Human Rights, Patriotism, Heroism, etc.So, don't go crying at the end of your tour of duty, because you've been warned (and you should have known and learned before hand if you read our nation's history and research the topic thoroughly before you so eagerly sign on the dotted line) and remember, this country doesn't have a compulsory military service (or conscription)system, but rather it's an all voluntary armed forces.Think of it just a job (and it is), a job happens to be violent, with weapons and killings. Your benefits are your guaranteed salaries, your one month vacation, your room and board, your commissary and PX privileges, your education benefits, your VA Loans, your free health care for life, your free burial plot and expense, your VA status and privileges... So, you have an unusual job, then you have more benefits than your normal civilian job. So, take the trade offs into consideration.Remember, go in with wide eyes open and know your purposes with personal goals to be achieved. Use your time in service wisely (first by choosing the right MOS - Military Occupational Specialty) but don't let being used (by going away emptied handed once you're Echo Tango Sierra - ETS (Expiration Term of Service)). Think hard and have at least one executable back up plan in the case you get maimed or injured. Sgt, Tank Commander, 8th ID, 5/33rd Armor, Bravo Company, 2nd PLT, B-23

lastliberal The information contained in this movie is somewhat familiar to many who have been paying attention to the news lately. The Walter Reed scandals show a small part of the fact that we are not doing a good job taking care of our injured heroes when they return.What this movie further shows is a truth common to all wars. The psychological trauma that soldiers suffer while engaging in war and the difficulty they have when returning to civilian life. They are not just changed or affected, they are different people and most do not know how to deal with that as they do not know themselves.Finally, this film shows what the military does to our young men in women in getting them ready for war and the policies and practices that they have to follow in prosecuting war that leads to all the psychological trauma.We have over 3000 dead soldiers in the four years of this invasion; but we have many tens of thousands that will suffer lifelong physical and psychological trauma because of this war. It doesn't matter what side you are on, it behooves you to know the cost of war to decide if we should be in that business. This film illustrates the costs to the men and women perfectly.

David Davis This shorter movie is the epitome the expected results when the imbecile runs the asylum. It is sad how the futures of these young people were rolled down a craps table when neither Saddam Hussein nor the people of Iraq, God rest the souls of the 350,000 plus that have been killed, had anything to do with terrorism nor al-Quida.Following this movie the astute viewer will need to pick up or download a copy of "Loose Change." This movie is available free on the internet, until the Bush cabal locks it down, by googling-up the very title, as indicated in parenthesis.God Save our country. This will not be done by following the Christo-fascists that controlled the Halls of Congress for over 10 years prior to November, 2006!

star2be-1 I saw this film premiere Friday (1/19) night in Park City for Sundance and was incredibly moved. Sitting in a theater and hearing first-hand the anguish soldiers go through was almost more than I could bear. Others in the audience were equally moved and while we wanted to turn away, the least we could do was bear witness as these men and women shared their experience with us. Robert Acosta, Paul Rieckhoff, Sean Huze, and Herold Noel, all veterans of the war in Iraq and featured in the film, were present. While they may be home now, you can tell this war is still inside them and probably always will be. Whether you support the war or not, it is OUR duty to support the troops with something other than a bumper sticker. See this film!
