Man Down

I have never seen a performance like Shia gives in this my soul wept. It just proves he's the most underrated under appreciated actor of our generation.

I didn't know much about this film before I watched it. But WOW, My only question, how come the rating isn't higher? Absolutely beautiful film. The movie is about war and love and there are many film about that, but the way they did "man down" I've never seen before. Lots of symbolisms, and back and forth between timelines. I was really moved by it. I encourage people to watch it, the film deserves a higher rating.

Wow the critics went hard on this film and I don't know why.

It's probably one of the most under-rated films I've seen, and I'm glad I did, as it was excellent.

I'm not a huge Shia LaBeouf fan but his performance in this was outstanding! I hope he wins some type of award for his amazing acting.

It was a little slow in the beginning but the back and forth between time lines was interesting enough (and kept getting more interesting) to keep me hooked in. Although I'm not a fan of back and forth time lines (I actually hate too much of it), this was done very well, and it was necessary to keep the viewer guessing and in suspense of what happens next.

The film did very well in getting a strong point across about vets and PTSD.

It's too bad the critics couldn't see the glory in this film - directing, acting, cinematography, score, etc... all top notch!

A well deserved 9/10 and a must see film!

2 things how the hell does this only have a 6 rating and why is this not talked about more. I was openly weeping at the last 20 minutes. When that twist hits let me tell you, you feel it. That was so powerful and the message was amazing. This film needs to be talked about more just for the message it shows. Incredible acting by Shia, mark my words when I say he'll win an oscar in the future. Amazing talent.

I must say, I tend to really like films that Le Bouf plays in. He has a knack for picking good films, he just really does. As much as you might hate him personally, he knows a good story when he sees one.

This film I had heard very little about, I knew it had something to do with war, but not much else. Seems it is highly underrated. I'm not even sure if it had a theatrical release or not.

When the film opened I was pretty skeptical. It seemed boring as all hell. Slow moving. Not very interesting. Military guy, yadda yadda. The opening was tinted with confusing "flashback" type scenes, boring paranorama or desolated wasteland that wasn't explained and other apocalyptic type scenes that didn't seem to fit into the rest of the movie. I kind of started losing interest and was barely paying attention, when all of a sudden...

The movie took a crazy turn, and I realized what was really going on, and why everything seemed confusing and off with the timing. It all came together, and I was sincerely impressed.

The music is a little over the top and too sentimental at a lot of parts, but the story is very well written. You just don't realize it at first how brilliant it is.

7/10 because the first part was so confusing and I felt a lot of the music was bad and just distracted from what was happening.
