Not Yet Begun to Fight Trailers

In the space between war and a new battle, NOT YET BEGUN TO FIGHT unfolds, offering an intimate look at the human cost of combat. A retired Marine Colonel reaches out to five men, a new generation returning from the battlefield. He brings them to the river. He puts a fly rod into their hand, teaches them to cast, and shares his secret: there are places where you can still be consumed by a simple act, find joy in a fight, and be redeemed as you gently release another creature, unharmed, into quiet waters.

A Disappointing Continuation

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Not yet begun to fight is the tale of the heroes injured in our modern wars. It chronicles how five of our severely injured modern warriors confront their fears injuries and handicaps and conquer them at the limits of their capabilities. True heroes all. The film even includes the presence of the wise master( a modern Yoda ) who directs and aids them in their quest for redemption. The vehicle is fly-fishing and the background or scene is played out on the waters of the Yellowstone and its tributaries in Montana. None of this is lost in the excellent cinematography and direction. Best of all these heroes do not play to a political agenda and the viewer is left with the theme of love and compassion.

Although I am a housewife in an urban town far removed from either war or fly fishing, I was blown away by this film when I saw it at the Florida Film Festival. It is so well edited, it leaves you wanting more. The movie unfolds in a gentle way - none of the interviews or comments are coaxed, and it is completely neutral on a political scale. The cinematography of Montana is breathtaking, and each of the men's stories is so powerful in its own way, you will leave the theater with a new appreciation for all fellow humans who risk their lives for our freedom. After seeing this film, you will be a changed person, and you will count your blessings in a new way.

Not Yet Begun to Fight is a poignant portrayal of the challenges facing five veterans from our modern war. Their injuries are deep, either to their emotional states or, to their physiology. This movie captures their bravery, fortitude and tenacity to overcome their wounds and make new lives for themselves. The scenery is beautifully captured in the serene atmosphere of a Montana river, where catharsis takes place for them. Any viewer who has the capacity to empathize with our brave veterans will be touched by the story portrayed in this film. You might find yourself picking a favorite veteran, because you resonate with the injuries or experiences in war which brought him to these waters. This film is reflective, relevant and engaging for viewers, and, provides hope for all of us who share in the fate of our beloved veterans.

As a life-long military brat and wife of a former military officer, I am so thrilled to finally see a film that shows the humanity, vulnerability, strength, and beauty of the military member. Regardless of your politics or beliefs about war, this film will inspire you to consider human nature in a new way. As a mental health therapist, I so appreciate the real-life glimpses into PTSD, TBI, and the ripple effect of both physical and emotional trauma. Not to mention the exquisite setting... The breathtaking and peaceful beauty of the rivers and mountains of Montana are the perfect backdrop for this presentation of struggle, human connection, and the possibility and hope of healing.
