    Not at all what I was expecting. More drama than action with an interesting and sad twist at the end. Can appreciate the powerful message they were trying to convey. Not a bad watch but wouldn't watch it again.

    Absolutely superb! Keeps you on the edge of your seat never knowing what's going to happen next, a really refreshing movie.

    So many movies are predictable and rehash the same story line. I was taken in by the two worlds of this story. The "real world" and the PTSD induced world of the main character. Growing up, I have known local veterans who were "shell Shocked." We all thought they were just crazy. This movie gave me a perspective that they may be reliving their battles every day.

    I have no idea why this has gotten bad reviews. What a sad but loving tribute to our veterans and an extremely realistic look at PTSD from a traumatic war time experience.

    Having seen up close and personal the nightmare of trying to keep your humanity after war, this movie showcases the struggle of everyday life for veterans. Experiencing this through the eyes of Vietnam and Iraq war veterans, watch this movie.

    This movie is way overhated. The acting is good, and so is the twist. I do get the criticisms, but I enjoyed the movie, and it's message.

    This is not a fun movie; its goal appears to be to give an understanding of what some verts are going through to those that can not possibly understand. I am curious what actual vets think?

    I don't know why this movie doesn't have higher reviews. Shia's acting was unbelievably spectacular, as usual. I was bawling at the end. The storyline is far from complex, and the film is a little confusing at times, in the sense that the timeline becomes muddled and the line between reality and hallucinations becomes blurred. However, the critics leaving negative reviews don't seem to understand that this sense of "confusion" is intentional. The audience experiences the same confusion that Shia's character experiences as a result of PTSD, which provides a firsthand insight into the merciless nature of PTSD. I thought this was a great movie!
