Escape and Evasion

Well shot and visually appealing (besides the small amount of CGI) Good script, acting and plot.

The writing and props could use improvement, some impractical scenes and guns/kit decisions.

All in all a pretty good fiction war movie with a good message about awareness of PTSD and unlike many movies that try to bring light to PTSD it avoids being cheesy and using worn out clichés.

Yeah I gave it an 8, even with the acting and script. Not that I could find too many issues with them but I've grown weary of Aussie drama template.

That being said, how 'bout that portrayal or a ptsd stricken ex soldier who's memory is poisoned his guilt, tho'?

Some sh(poop)y things happen in life, let alone at war, and people do those things. This film does not shy away from that fact. The protagonist isn't a hero (he has a far guiltiest conscience than I can imagine carrying around) but he does have the right intentions

Definitely give it a go.

Just a terrible film - essentially Neighbours meets Rambo and they turn into mush. Nothing really happens and its all feelings and drama with not much acting present. Avoid if possible.

This film has one sort of half decent action/fighting scene. One sex scene without boobies. And then just some boring story about a bloke battling with the relationship he has with his daughter and ex wife.

Honestly, this movie looks like it was made just so the producers could put some text in at the end about the treatment of PTSD for veterans.

The acting was on par with low budget Australian films. I actually yawned a few times watching this piece of crap - cements my choice to avoid Australian films, always! Crap. Crap. Crap.

Go buy a notepad with nothing written in it, and read it a dozen times - you'll get more joy there than watching this utterly useless waste of time (MY TIME!!!!!), money, effort, and oxygen.

I really like this movie. It is a gritty, grimy, brutal perspective of a war in the burmese jungles. A passable performance by Josh McConville as the troubled soldier. It has everything in it and as such never really achieves anything. Can't help but feel it's more a Storm Ashwood showcase than film....

but it's a good showcase, definitely worth a go.
