    Jacob's ladder meets Magnolia

    A very strange movie that starts off slow but builds up to a very powerful ending. I came here to see what others thought of this movie and I was dumbfounded by all the negative/bad reviews. Did we watch the same movie?

    Maybe it would help to know that this movie is based on true events because this film takes the viewer on a bumpy and sometimes painful ride. We are viewing life through the eyes of "Chief". An ex-US Marshall trying to pick up the pieces of his life after a mission gone wrong, a failed business, alienation from his best friend and separation from his wife.

    Strong performances from the ensemble cast and great cinematography and visuals will keep you interested while the story slowly unfolds. It all comes together very nicely at the end and for me, I was like "Oh yea...dang... wow."

    I wouldn't call this an action movie at all, it's more of a thriller with some very funny moments. Think Jacob's ladder meets Magnolia.

    A waste of time.

    All of the convoluted pretentiousness of a film school piece with decent production and a few actors who should've definitely known better.

    Daunting

    With everything that is going on now regarding PTSD, Agent Orange, mass murders and other killings committed by veterans, I think this movie is outstanding. There is a dark side to it that stirs away from the usual documentary type genre. Mario Van Peebles is not your average status quo actor. Always expect the unusual.

    Painful

    I can only presume so highly misguided spoiled child got a hold of a lot of money from a rich relative and decided to make a movie. This horrible movie-like docu-drama should have been named "Stereotype" or perhaps "Ignorance". Either way it was so off base and laughable I had to turn it off. I feel bad for the good actors that felt they needed the pay day attached to this disaster. I wish they would have started a go fund me page instead. I would have thrown them $10 to turn down this awful $1 DVD bin failure. Run away people, don't waste any of your life watching this painful "movie".
