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.

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.

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.

I love Australia & World Films and TV they are a lot more realistic than the US BS that claims to be the truth. One Soldier's story about being sent on a mission to Myanmar and dealing with the trauma and guilt back in the real world. A reporter delves into the truth about what happened to her brother on the mission. A very realistic depiction of how the horrors of war can impact on the family life. Very well acted by Josh Mcconville and well supported by Bonnie Sveen and Jessi Robertson.

Disgusted. Fictional rubbish. Oh, did I mention I'm an ex grunt. 25yrs worth. Should I at this point mention I was in SF for half of that. At no time did we ever go to Burma either in my grunt or SF time in the ADF! At no time have we ever sustained casualties with the B-Movie premise of being the "lone survivor". This makes a mockery of everything our soldiers have done. Yes fictional liberties can be taken, but atleast put it in the backdrop against actual work and missions being undertaken by our brave and selfless ADF personnel serving. Disgusted! Where the hell was the military advisors role in this. Should be sacked. Next time get someone with an ounce of experience in SF. Ashamed!
