Heroes Don't Come Home

I am a mom of 4 military children , this movie is poorly written and bad acting. On top of the fact they swear way to much . No one wants war . But this movie ends up somewhat political in the end ! Long drawn out ,dumb movie.

Anyone who witnessed the events that took place on 9/11 will be moved by this piece! If you were too young to experience this event, it is still worth a watch considering those same reactions and emotions have led to the current state of the world. Great acting and effects only help to perpetuate the story. I recommend this for anyone! Do not expect a wartime drama, but instead expect to experience the feelings and actions of youthful men who felt compelled to act on behalf of their nation, for better or for worse! This is not a major cinematic adventure or blockbuster, but what it brings to the table is as true as any form of sincere cinematography.

Not a blood and guts film, thankfully. Just a minor touch of battle action, but the film is not about action, it is about human interference, cynicism on the one hand and blind expectations on the other. The screenplay, acting, direction, and overall production work is exceptional. I strongly recommend this film for anybody who can ride the emotions. Those of us who served during the VietNam conflict, when our lives, hopes, and dreams were interrupted (and for many of us destroyed) by the draft, and had no choice but to serve, will actually appreciate the thoughtfulness behind much of the dialog in this film. I know I did. Watch the film. Don't expect Rambo. 90 percent of the film takes place right in the U.S. and quietly revolves around a small group, primarily between two close friends; one who served, and one who didn't. I'll say no more. Watch it!

The script and direction are rock solid and offer up a very incisive look at life after combat. Committed and authentic performances help keep you engaged the whole way through, and the cinematography and editing are top shelf as well. Highly recommended for anyone who's interested in learning more about the emotional toll that battle takes on both soldiers and those waiting for them back home.

OK been an avid user here and at most trust the reviews.

Time for me to now write my own reviews because I feel there are a few review critics that seem so off key.

I won't ever say much because I like a good film to do it's thing, what I will say is this is a little gem of a story exceptional acting great story seemed very real and could connect on the emotions this film portrays... Just watch it because it's a brilliant film.
