From NetFlix:
Three soldiers injured in the Iraq War return to native soil, only to find that their tour of duty has taken its toll on the home front. Hoping to repair their tattered lives, Colee (Rachel McAdams), Cheaver (Tim Robbins) and T.K (Michael Peña) set off on an impromptu cross-country road trip. While Colee seeks to repay her dead boyfriend’s family, Cheaver dreams of a big win in LasVegas, and T.K. tries to regain his confidence.
Low key and feeling like an independent film, this story rings true. Three sympathetic characters gradually relate more and more with one another. Each has his or her story to tell and their stories do take on some unexpected twists.
Almost nothing that happens seems contrived with one exception. T.K. was wounded with shrapnel in his genitals and is on leave and currently impotent. On this topic many matter of fact discussions are centered. His “cure” was a bit hard to accept.
Without spoiling I will only say that the ending was perfectly believable, very probable, and for me a disappointing solution to their problems.
Tim Robbins (Mystic River (2003), The Secret Life of Words (2005), “The Shawshank Redemption”), Michael Peña (“The Shield”, “Million Dollar Baby”), and (Rachel McAdams (State of Play (2009), “The Time Traveler’s Wife”) all do a fine job.
