Misunderstood by most. Great acting by the entire cast. Strong story of a troubled vet, and his love for his son.

It reminded me of Jacob's Ladder.… Expand

Such a tragedy. I feel like there is a solid movie somewhere here that got chopped up and edited into oblivion. All the elements are intact but they are so mangled and messed up that the plot is barely recognizable. It's like it wasSuch a tragedy. I feel like there is a solid movie somewhere here that got chopped up and edited into oblivion. All the elements are intact but they are so mangled and messed up that the plot is barely recognizable. It's like it was pieced together by an overzealous art school reject. A quality movie and a serious subject - glued together by the hands of a Picasso wannabe director. High caliber performances from Shia Lebeouf and Kate Mara couldn't save this abstract plot. And it is such a shame because they were both great. This could have been such a great movie.… Expand

I very much enjoyed this movie. It was confusing at first, but it started to come together the longer I watched it. The acting was riveting in each scene. The acting is really what carried this movie. The message of the movie was clear. I wasI very much enjoyed this movie.

The life of a homecoming soldier!

I saw it a couple of days ago, but now I'm thinking does it deserve what I've rated. I mean I have rated it average, but I think I've overrated it. Some films impacts me the days going by since its watch,The life of a homecoming soldier!

I saw it a couple of days ago, but now I'm thinking does it deserve what I've rated. I mean I have rated it average, but I think I've overrated it. Some films impacts me the days going by since its watch, this is not one of those. It was exactly like the opposite. The cast looked good. Even the screenplay, only when each layer separated according to random timeline. Together, it is a mess. It was confusing at the beginning to the first three quarters of the tale. But once the twist came in, not what I was expected.

The story of US army man who served in Afghanistan, now returned home after a disaster in the mission. Coping with the consequences, he's not the same man as before he left the home for his national duty. With narration keep changing its timeline, at one point in the final quarter, all are tied together. And ends the story before explaining the events for us.

The actors were good, but it was the storyline that did not stand and deliver. Especially the editing that layered out multiple events. That created curiosity, though the solution was weaker. Or most of the viewers would guess that earlier self. Some people might like it, but surely majority won't. I don't know what should have been done to make it better. But I did not enjoy it.

5/10… Expand

Despite Shia LaBeouf's decent efforts with his performance, but the film itself is a piece of **** I would go as far to say it's pretty unwatchable.

It looks and feels so cheap that I wasn't surprise this got completely forgotten after the 2015 TIFF screening. Until now it gets the light of day with an actual release in theaters, for which didn't last very long.… Expand

Good duo of Kate Mara & Shia LaBeouf.

The film certainly makes us think about the fragility of the inner and outer world.
The war is cruel and meaningless and the soldiers on it are weak-willed pawns.

The performances were spot on. The story is hard to watch but moving at the same time. Shia labeouf was incredible.
