Powerful, Emotional , Personal .......A Beautiful Film, 4 May 2009
9/10
Author: kid-finley from Australia

I just Finished watching this film on pay TV and i think it was a very emotional and powerful piece of film making. Its hard reading some of the negative comments on here, particularly to do with the Characters. I personally feel all the actors performed very well in the portrayal of these Soldiers returning home from Iraq.

I think many people would be confused with these characters because essentially the characters themselves are confused with who they are and what they have returned too. The film itself seems at times alittle unstructured but this is the point. These characters have returned home from service and are completely unstructured in a very emotional way, being haunted by the memories of Iraq.

Many reviews say the war scenes are cheesy and badly down, but this is NOT a War film, it is a drama based around characters that have experience many different emotional and physical scars from war.

The pace of this film at times is slow, but this reflects the slowness of the Characters adjusting to their lives, which are not new to them, but have changed due to their experiences.

The only negative thing i would draw out of this is that the Cover does not reflect what this movie is about. It make it look like an action war film, which this film certainly is not.

Verdict I really enjoyed this film, it was a deeply emotional film to watch and was in my mind simply beautiful. Beautiful characters trying to deal with a life they once new so well, adjusting back into the life they went to protect.

If you want to feel something from a movie and particularly from a host of raw characters, i recommend you watch this.

9/10
