A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.
... View MoreGreat movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
... View MoreThe movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
... View MoreIt is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
... View MoreThis movie contains some of the worst acting and clichés that I have ever seen. Add to that the fact that the acting is so bad it makes the otherwise reasonable storyline unbelievable. I'm a Marine combat veteran, and take it from me, even the combat scenes are ridiculously unreal; they have more in common with a bunch of children playing war in the backyard. What makes it even worse is the fact that an actual Marine combat veteran is an actor in the movie. Also, around the 67 minute mark, what is with the close shots being HD and the far shots being fuzzy? Oh, and one more thing. Take a good long look at the face of Natalie Roy, who plays Cathy. She is really Mark Whalberg.
... View MoreI attempted to watch this film while serving in Iraq . . . got through about 15 minutes of it. Considered turning it off after about 5 minutes, gave it another 10 just to be fair. Probably the worst acting I have ever seen, aside from the "acting" in the movie "13 Seconds" (somehow made it through 5 minutes of that abortion of a flick). Anyways, I digress. Truly disappointed in "The Four Horsemen." Looked like a good story, but too poorly done to watch. My buddies and I considered making out own little movie out here in Iraq just to pass the time, probably could have done a better job than the people who worked on this film. Do yourself a favor and just keep on moving down the movie rental shelf.
... View Morethe acting wasn't too great but i think the overall film shows a good insight into what it is like for returning war veterans. you have to remember that mark o'brien was not an actor but a war veteran himself, which i think in some ways is better than having a proper actor for the part. i was slightly annoyed at the beginning of the movie as i thought the acting was terrible but once you get past that and actually open your eyes and see what the film is really about then you could appreciate it a lot more. its obviously not the greatest war film ever made but it is a true likeness of what really goes on once they come home, there are very few films where you see them coming to terms with what has happened and trying to adjust to their normal lives, instead they other films are all "bang bang kill kill". i think they had made a good effort in executing this film, and it was nice to see some emotion from mark o'brien rather than having an actor playing the part who has no idea what war is about.
... View MoreThis movie was absolutely dreadful. Halfway thru the movie I was still waiting for it to begin. It was flat, dry, bland and unmoving. The acting was horrible, there was absolutely no chemistry between the characters,... the list goes on and on and on. Definitely an eye-closer and NOT an eye-opener, I mean how could you ask viewers to believe in a movie and take it seriously when clearly the actors don't believe in it themselves??? I just wanted it to END.The only thing positive I have to say is that the storyline wasn't completely and utterly awful but it definitely could have been portrayed WAYYYYYY better.
