Fairly well-done look at the psychological devestation of war.
Po faced and worthy study of the effects of war on the ordinary grunts with a fine performance from Phillippe. Cornish can't handle a texas accent and Levitt continues his body of tortured souls. Sorely lacking in anything very original to say, unfortunately.
What a dissapointment of a film -and one I highly anticipated for a while.
Let's take the advantages first. Great performances by Ryan Phillipe, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Timothy Olyphant. It had some plot twists and some unpredictable moments, but generally it was another Hollywood-like project that failed to take a stand against the imperialistic politics of America. The characters are poorly developed and by the end not only you are left without an impression, but you are also left without emotions of sympathy.
It surely had the potential, but nothing was used and in the end you are left with a simple non-interesting film that didn't do a good job in the portayal of the military life.
I guess you could say i wasn't surprised that I didn't really like this movie. Films about the war aren't really for me. But since Ryan Phillippe was in it I thought I would give it a chance but it didn't do it as well. I guess if you are in the army or military, or you have family members in the war you would like this movie or possibly relate to it. It is a pretty passionate movie, that would really sucks if it happens to a person.
This was gonna go one of two ways, either gloriefy the war or bash it. People need to make their own minds about this. Having lived through stop loss myself, I was super pissed at Ryan's character...a true soldier never ever RUNS! That really got me going. Channing's on the other hand did what ha had to do. A Soldier might not like what he does all the time, espially nowadays...but he never ever RUNS!!!!
Was a pretty good movie, considering Ryan Phillipe is in it. Haven't been a fan of his work with the exception of Igby Goes Down. The thought that this actually happens to people is terrifying too
although this is a long shot, i was wondering if anyone knows the title of the first 'rap/ hip hop' song that was playing at the very begining...i keep tryin to look up the soundtrack for it, but thats not working for me...
if anyone knows by chance, please write it on MY WALL
thanks!
chick just showed the problem of the movie it's propaganda for the uninformed, those who don't know what's going on take the word of more negative propaganda, I have heard soldiers don't like this movie either, or at least a couple I talked to on Yahoo. This is just more of Hollywood trying to bias people on what to think and using their popularity to force political opinons on people.
I really liked this movie but it made me realize that those troops have no reason to be in Iraq and this war just needs to be over.
Dont need to watch it cause I already live it. Been stop lossed for 20 months now lol
More liberal mega-crap, it will bomb like all the other anti-american crap movies that hollywood keeps trying to make about iraq and then fade into forgetful oblivion. O man I just realized this is the same director that made that other propoganda gay rights movie, she must be straight from the Michael Moore school of PROPOGANDA U.
