Wonderful character development!

Strictly average movie

One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

I hate to say one scene makes a movie but the dogfighting crap was completely uncalled for if your a dog lover you will hate this.

This film tells the story of several veterans who comes back from Iraq, struggling with their lives that have been torn apart by war.It is clear that the film tells how traumatising war is to the soldiers, and there seems to be inadequate "connection services" to help these soldiers back on track. The story has a lot of haunting moments, where the services don't care about teh veterans but the viewers care deeply about the veterans. It is a sad story that will touch your heart.

This is a good movie on the fate of veterans of current wars. Good cinematography, but let's remember the Nazis had good cinematography in some of their sinister progaganda films.This is one more film with pseudo patriotic messages and hypocritical wailing over the fate of the "people who go to war". It's not the "people". Career officers are not affected by PTSD. Those affected are lower class enlisted men and women who, with or without patriotism, find going to war the best available option. Ill prepared (many with pre existing mental problems), ill trained and exposed to the most vulnerable situations, they find that "option" sometimes is just one more step in a downward spiral.The answer is dealing in a rational and humane manner with all aspects: assessing the real cost of engaging in war, careful selection of recruits for different kind of duties and adequate aid to veterans. These are the real issues that these films carefully sidestep.

Everyone talks about PTSD these days but this movie shows you the heavy stuff that soldiers have to go through when they get back home from the war. This is a very serious issue that I wish more people would pay attention to. I cried a few different times during the movie. So did my sister.Also I never have understood all the hate for Amy Schumer, but in this movie she is not very good and almost look like she's laughing during some scenes? I don't know. She should stick to comedy though, it took me out of the movie. Hayley Bennett on the other hand was AMAZING!!!! I want to see her in more!Watch this movie!
