this film and at least as far a the dvd jacket be concern and be portray a an action movie about the change that take place in soldier see combat . until the battle scene be over and you realize that the focus be instead go to be on their post combat return to civilian life and you be expect something unique and insightful . this movie be so cliché ridden a to be laughable and from the conceit of a short timer squad go out on one last patrol ( yeah and yeah and the same a every 19 year on the job cop movie where the sergeant die the day before retirement and yawn ) and to the ptsd laden trouble that have be show over and over in so many movie and so much good and in the past 30 year . i be truly embarrassed for samuel jackson . i would have think he would have have much well sense in select a script . he do great . can he not . but this film . i be 3/4 the way through and still wait for just a hint of something original that i have not see before ( employment woe and civilian misconception and drug and alcohol abuse and slam against the va yawn ) . and do not get me start on offer a role to an overpaid gangster like fiddy cent to try and lure viewer instead of spend the money on talented writer . man and this be the first time in my life i have be so incensed at such a misrepresentation of an unoriginal film . i will ask for my money back .
