Luke Stephens shows up on his brother Nicky's doorstep after a tour of duty in Afghanistan. Suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder and unseen, devastating physical wounds, Luke wants nothing more than to forget the war, but his veteran father won't let him. Then, at a local strip club run by a ruthless killer, Luke crosses paths with Michelle, who leads him into a violent world every bit as dangerous as the brutality he so desperately tried to leave behind in Afghanistan.

Frank Scheck Hollywood Reporter Battle Scars is neither sensitive nor gripping enough to be taken seriously. Jul 17, 2017 Full Review Bobby LePire Film Threat Without the PTSD, Battle Scars is a routine thriller, with some engaging performances and decent pacing. But, including PTSD feels exploitative and dramatically inert. Rated: D+ Dec 14, 2017 Full Review Sherilyn Connelly SF Weekly Don't even think about laughing, you bad person. Jul 13, 2017 Full Review Mike McGranaghan Aisle Seat Battle Scars tells two stories concurrently. One is really good, the other incredibly weak. The problem is that the second story continually intrudes upon the first one. Rated: 2.5/4 Jul 13, 2017 Full Review Brian Orndorf Blu-ray.com Has more to offer viewers than the average PTSD investigation, but Buday doesn't trust the harrowing simplicity of shattered men, electing to venture into predictability just to make sure he can find an ending. Rated: D+ Jul 13, 2017 Full Review Jennie Kermode Eye for Film The result is a film weighed down by its own efforts to be meaningful. Rated: 2/5 Jul 13, 2017 Full Review Read all reviews
