The day after they get the word they'll go home in two weeks, a group of soldiers from Spokane are ambushed in an Iraqi city. Back stateside we follow four of them - a surgeon who saw too much, a teacher who's a single mom and who lost a hand in the ambush, an infantry man whose best friend died that day, and a soldier who keeps reliving the moment he killed a civilian woman.

Il racconto di quattro reduci a cui viene

Il racconto di quattro reduci a cui viene affibbiato in maniera abbastanza casuale un problema dovuto alla guerra; alcolismo, violenza, depressione e un'amputazione fisica. I quattro protagonisti però sono un po' troppo legati a questo unico elemento e non viene contestualizzato abbastanza il resto. Il finale è abbastanza toccante e fa risalire un film che troppo spesso risulta legnoso.

I seem to remember many films coming out

I seem to remember many films coming out in the years following 9/11 that attempted to justify and even celebrate the war on terror and the US occupation in the Middle East, without ever showing the cost or what happened to those who paid that price. Even when this film falls short with a generic script and some uninspired acting I at least give the writers credit for attempting to show the not so pleasant reality that many who were asked to serve are left with when they return back to society. They also veered away from the standard "US are saviors, Muslims are terrorists" narrative that was pervasive at the time and, even if done in a predictably cliche manner, I give credit for at least questioning and criticizing US motivations by including multiple points of view. A few of the storylines were interesting but some of the acting and dialogue felt so forced and mechanical that it kept taking me out of the scenes. Because there were so many characters, none ever really had a chance to become fully developed, all remaining at a surface level when more exposition with fewer characters could have worked better. Jessica Biel was fairly engaging though and deserves a mention. Even when I may admire the attempt, it doesnt mean I will necessarily love the final product. 4.5/10 Samuel L. Jackson Binge: He gave the most authentic performance in this one for my money and even though some of the scenes with his son felt a bit heavy handed, I was glad to see them included. SLJ #10
