Martin Tsai Los Angeles Times The film, unfortunately, treats the important and complex subject of post-traumatic stress disorder in an oversimplified and reductive way. Dec 20, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

craig a A shame that such a serious and worthy problem is handled with such awfulness. Terrible in nearly every way: script, directing, editing. To say the acting is wooden is to insult carpentry. Execrable execution across the board. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie really shows you the struggle of soldiers and the everyday struggle they go through. You truly feel the problems the characters go through I highly recommend watching this movie . Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member A Absolute Must See! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member I enjoyed this not only an entertaining movie but it also brought up many issues around what our heros go through that I've not thought about. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie is a cross between a docudrama and Hacksaw Ridge! Real and raw with emotions and true life depiction of what all of our service men go thru with various degrees of severity. Now called PTSD, any service person, family and friends who want to get a better understanding of how people handle the horrors of war and life, which is not always shown outwardly but is carried inwardly, should use this movie as part of the heeling process. All the acting company did an outstanding job and Mike Markiwicz sealed the deal for me!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Very deep Indy Film.I loved it!
