Sunray: Fallen Soldier

A tough violent movie that is hard to watch at times. It certainly does not glamorise military life,but shows the after effects of deployment in conflict zones, that lives on in their lives on discharge. The comradery no longer there,and as a result the fall into a life of loneliness, anger with their thoughts playing on their minds and no outlet except in many cases drifting into crime. However, when the comradery returns and an outlet and counselling is there,well it just might help. But the built up anger over years of combat in theatres of conflict can have devastating consequences for veterans as displayed in this film.

Considering as one reviewer has written this was filmed on a shoe string, through public funding via Kickstarter and none of of the guys involved really had experience in writing, directing or editing (to my knowledge), it's still a great small budget movie... Jesus if you want bad acting and inaccurate details, watch Dirty Angels and that had a far, far bigger budget..!

Honestly a great film, enjoyed the story, the characters and the mental health and PTSD sub-story which tied up the Fallen Soldier angle so well.

Considering these lads are Bootnecks and not Hollywood A listers with million $ budgets, I think they did a bang up job with what they had, and to think this TV Series come Film nearly never happened, I believe this is a true grit and adversity film on all fronts.

Showed British Soldiering well and told a story which is undoubtedly spoken, or should be spoken, by soldiers from all walks of life who have been through battle and come home lost...

Hoofin' geezers, well done.!

The film is really not bad at all! I went into expecting to want to turn off after reading some of the reviews! Ridiculous. What these guys have done is nothing short of fantastic. Its a debut feature, with a solid story and believable characters with fun and organic action. Yes things could be better. But I have watched multimillion pound films that lack even the most basic of intrigued... these industry giants chuck everything at these films with no integrity and truth and yet the Sunray team have had to fight against all the nepotisms, exclusivity and exteme cost to produce something they so rightly should be proud of. Sunray is definitely worth a watch. Excited for the future!

I really pushed myself to finish this film as I am a huge supporter of indie film productions. The entirety of the film was dragging and the acting/casting was decent enough. Costume design was kind of off but I didn't really expect much from that department. Story was okay, not stellar but not bad at all. From a cinematography standpoint: the lighting was not impressive (I understand; indie studios are on a budget as always) but that's to be expected. Furthermore, The girl's boyfriend's story somehow lacked in depth though. I wish that there was something more to what he was portraying. Overall, great job and well done with this work. I'd like to see more from this studio.

Went into this film expecting a degree of low budget film-isms, and finished it very impressed with how the film as a whole turned out. Great cinematography, very authentic feeling military persons interactions (unlike most high budget films), well portrayed characters (as far as I'm aware some of the actors are quite fresh in the acting world), and a very strong sound track, all put together, directed and edited very well.

The film does lack a little in some of the effects departments (due to what I assume is a very small budget), but makes up for it with the camera work.

In the end the story was great and enjoyably unpredictable.
