This movie broke me.

I have never seen a performance like Shia gives in this my soul wept. It just proves he's the most underrated under appreciated actor of our generation.

Definitely not what I expected

Well, I certainly didn't expect this. I think I need to start by saying that this isn't a typical war film whatsoever. As I'm sure you've seen in the reviews prior, this film is made to demonstrate a very powerful message about veterans and PTSD. And it's a message that definitely got to me!However, this is still a film and needs to be entertaining. And was it? Yes. I will say that how it was filmed was a bit annoying to me, I felt that it was just a bit too jumbled at times, which found it quite hard to understand what's actually going on. So the film has about 4 storylines going on, in past and present and you get like 15 mins of one, so maybe it's a flashback to him being a loving husband and father. Then it quickly switches to some war scene. I feel the director needed to just calm it. But overall it was still entertaining to watch.You're basically waiting for this one moment to link everything. That moment/twist finally hits and it was genuinely brilliant and really does make the film. I was so impressed by it!The characters were well done with good arc's and the performances from everyone was fantastic also. Only negative to this is that I feel Gary Oldman was hugely underused. He was hardly in it.Overall, I think this is a very powerful film with a good message behind it. I would recommend to anyone to watch if they haven't already, just don't watch it expecting some huge war film. Because this isn't that.
