This film depicts how war affects four persons. They experience various degrees of combat in Iraq with one particular battle in common. After returning home, each experiences some traumatization which, in other wars was known as shell-shock or battle fatigue. Each has to come to terms with their own demons and how they do this makes the story. A thoughtful movie, well acted about a past and present problem. Worth the watch.

If you have a family member in the service, especially in the Army and especially serving in Iraq, DO NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE! I wasn't very far into this movie before I started crying, placing my brother in the attacks instead of the characters in the movie, it brought the whole situation to a level of reality that I didn't want to even think about, let alone watch. I can't really say if the movie is in fact a good one or not but I do want to warn anyone with family in the service, the beginning battle scenes are heart wrenching. Thank God my brother will be home soon!

Not a Fan. Acting was bad and this distracted from the storyline making it difficult to related with the characters. Plot had much more potential.
