The grand canyon sized discrepancy of critics and real people, well says enough. Though I dont know this man Its likely a very real account of many soldiers' story, heartful and heartbreaking. I felt like a witness who wanted to jump in to help-help him be accepted for coming out of hell, and for me and us as a whole who are comfortably conveniently numb to the lack of understanding and support each so deeply deserves. With all we go through as a nation and family and individual- it is these men and women that make America great, not others. Leave no man behind- I wish this nation had the same constitution of heart that our soldiers DO. You critics forgot you're human 1st. Have we?

This movie tells a great story that needs to be heard. It's too bad the professional critics don't give it the credit it deserves. I recommend this movie for anyone that loves our country.

Brings much needed attention to the struggles our service men and women face during transition.

Very good. If your looking for something to pull at your heart strings then watch this. Lots of silver lining situations going on and great acting. Definitely a sleeper.

I gave the movie 5 stars. I wish I could give the same to the treatment of our veterans. We must do better by them. Our veterans deserve the absolute best care for their entire lives. We are failing our veterans and it sickens me. One homeless hungry veteran is unacceptable yet we have thousands. We live free because they are brave.

Heartbreaking and powerful. The cliches don't matter, because the heart of the movie is clear and poignant.

Christy Lemire

FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)

It really means well and it's a really important topic, but it's told in a frustrating, ham-fisted, flag-waving, clichéd way.

Sincerity of purpose, the best of intentions and brief appearances by top talent cannot save a real first pancake of a script in SGT. Will Gardner.

Rated: 2/4

Hollywood Reporter

The film endlessly traffics in the sort of clichés endemic to the genre, from its gung-ho country music soundtrack to its frequent combat flashbacks illustrating the horrors of war.

Heavy-handed clichés overwhelm the heartfelt intentions of this drama meant to salute veterans battling physical and emotional wounds as they return home.

It's a mess of uncertain purpose, jarring tonal shifts, and melodramatic gimmickry.

Its honesty and introspection, and the urgency of the topic, make it worth a look.
