While it's clear that this movie is trying to making a general anti-war statement, the story elements don't add up to a big picture about anything in particular. Go to Full Review

Reminiscient of Keith Gordon's fantastic A Midnight Clear mixed with a healthy dose of Rod Serlingism, Straight Into Darkness is a dark and stark little tale. Go to Full Review

thiago s @Thiagostone Jul 24 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Phil R 09/06/2023 Not a traditional war movie in any way. Pluto app just put it on automatically and the first 15 minutes didn't catch my attention but then things escalate pretty quick and it gets more engaging. I'm not a fan of the long thought provoking scenes but I got over it for this film and actually began to enjoy the flash backs. Great example of what can be done with low budget, average acting and decent story. See more 03/29/2019 I really liked this film. It was not like any war movie I've seen. Very unique. Held my interest all through till the end. Exciting. Thought provoking. See more Frances H 02/18/2013 Tragic, sorrowful and deeply moving story that is fascinatingly different from any other film of this genre that I've ever seen with some of the most visually breath-taking scenes one could imagine in a war movie. Even the music is evocatively eerie. This is a film that bears re-viewing to be fully appreciated. It blew me away.
