Brilliant and touching

A waste of 90 minutes of my life

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

The best part of this movie was the ending (pun intended. No seriously. It MIGHT be a SPOILER.. but... they didn't explain what his issues were with himself and what he did in the war that he served in.. (what he did that bothered him so much).. if they would have filled in THAT gap (ie. he shot a woman/women/child/children, or saw a comrade seriously injured or killed) it would have made the movie much smoother. I am not dense, and I had no problem following the movie but the fact that they didn't even give a glimpse of what he had been through made me feel that something was missing the whole movie. It just didn't sit well with me. Other than that I really liked the movie. If it had filled in that gap I would have given this movie 8 stars. One other small note (but it might be nit picking) I think the movie was drawn out in parts. More or less in some parts of the movie it was uninteresting and I found myself wandering off.

Just watched this via Netflix. I am veteran as well, so was curious about this. Startling in its realism. Both action wise and its message. Very entertaining for an action-drama. Like Brian Cox here. All other actors did a sufficient job. The messages portrayed here, really hit home.The war has just begun. Live by the sword. Die by the sword. A line uttered by Alayna re: Al-Quaida, will be most disturbing to most, but is very accurate. Langdon scoffing at the remark, later confirms the statement to Miller towards the end, about the need for world domination via terror. (9/11, 7/7, Mumbai, etc.)A brutal display of life in the intelligence community. A must see for all that can stomach the real world, as it really is.

Do not listen to the good reviews. They must be fabricated. I normally don't take the time to write something but I am SO pi-ssed me about how bad this movie ended that I have to warn everybody. Please watch it and you will see... and then post how disappointed you were. We must stop the fraudulent reviews!

By far the best action movie I have seen in years. The story jumbles a bit but the acting is A1.this story definitely digs deeper then just boom sticks, Only one scene does the shoulder mount (i am assuming) get twitchy.The cast plays excellently with each other and the lead actors representation of p.t.s.d. is well done and not over played.the cinematographers/directors creation of an almost Dystopic present day was masterful. Well played and I have a feeling I will be following those involved for some time to come. Resisting the monopolized world of large effects c.g.i. and over the top action sequences this feature pulls you directly into the soldier, resisting action because its necessary until it boils over. I found myself begging the hero to be cool and not bite then at other times to attack with out mercy and the director seemed to carry us along on a more emotionally realistic battle of the personal experience. There are a few lacking or uncomfortable bits in here with dialogue being a touch to muddled or suppressed and the odd bad angle but these cracks by my opinion only added an authenticity to the style they were driving for.
