From NetFlix:

After a tour in Iraq, decorated hero Sgt. Brandon King (Ryan
Phillippe) returns home to his small Texas town and tries to
readjust to civilian life. But when he’s called up again as
part of the military’s controversial stop-loss program, he
decides to go AWOL. Directed by Kimberly Peirce (Boys Don’t
Cry), this poignant drama co-stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt and
Channing Tatum as Brandon’s war buddies and Timothy Olyphant
as his superior officer.

If we didn’t have freedom of speech in the USA this anti-war anti-stop-loss movie which criticizes the war in IraqNam (no mistake) as well as the Army could not have been make. Considering how young the cast is, the ensemble work is well done. Amazingly there is NO preaching, just a perfectly imaginable sequence of events that highlights the unfair Army practice. And don’t expect a predictable ending.

Preaching to the choir ?
