Flawed attempt to depict the plight of returning servicemen...
“Man Down” stars Shia LaBeouf as U.S. Marine Gabriel Drummer who, when he returns from his tour in Afghanistan, finds that the place he once called home has become a ravaged wasteland. Accompanied by his best friend, hard-nosed Marine Devin Roberts (Jai Courtney), he searches desperately for the location of his estranged son, Jonathan (Charlie Shotwell), and wife Natalie (Kate Mara). In their search, the two intercept Charles (Clifton Collins, Jr.), a man carrying vital information about the whereabouts of Gabriel’s family.<br /><br />Director Dito Montiel shows Gabriel in basic training, as family man with wife and child, in battle in Afghanistan, in session with a psychiatrist (Gary Oldman), and wandering through a blighted landscape as he searches for his son, who he believes has been kidnapped. The film switches around, using flashbacks to illustrate Gabriel’s state of mind. The scenes between Gabriel and the psychiatrist are dull and waste the talents of Oldman, who seems distant and bored. LaBeouf is all over the place with his acting, which contains several affectations and mannerisms that draw undue attention and take us out of the story.<br /><br />I’m assuming director Montiel wanted to make a statement about how America treats its returning soldiers, who are haunted daily by the trauma of war and the awful images they have witnessed. The attempt is noble, but the final result is unfocused and disappointing, largely because of his tendency to meander rather than use straightforward narrative. Though we should care about Gabriel and root for him, LaBeouf makes it hard for us because he never succeeds in making Gabriel truly sympathetic. We can identify intellectually with how the horror of war has scarred him, but we never really feel his emotional pain.<br /><br />Bonus extras on the Blu-ray release include audio commentary with director Dito Montiel and military consultant Nick Jones, Jr. A digital HD copy is enclosed.

Here is a brief synopsis of the title : When U.S. Marine Gabriel Drummer (Shia LaBeouf) returns home from his tour in Afghanistan, he finds that the place he once called home is no better than the battlefields he fought on overseas. Accompanied by his best friend Devin Roberts (Jai Courtney), a hardnosed marine whose natural instinct is to shoot first and ask questions later, he searches desperately for the whereabouts of his estranged son, Jonathan (Charlie Shotwell) and wife, Natalie (Kate Mara). In their search, the two intercept Charles (Clifton Collins), a man carrying vital information about the whereabouts of Gabriel's family. As we revisit the past, we are guided in unraveling the puzzle of Gabriel's experience and what will eventually lead us to finding his family..
