Very good film. Extremely sensitive topic that needs more films like this which show realistic depictions. Joe Lido and Mike Markiwicz give very respectable portrayals as the two leads. Armand Asante is as usual a very solid star in a cast which includes the ever respectable Ed Asher and Tom Sizemore supporting this film with style and professionalism.
The rest of the cast does a fine job in keeping you interested as well. A fine job getting the point across that PTSD affects everyone in your circle. A great film to bring new awareness to the affects of PTSD. Well done

This film feels very real. It doesn't try to be a big, fancy blockbuster, it is an intimate portrait of one marine's coming home story & his struggles to find his footing while the horrors of war still play on in his mind. I found it to be heartfelt & powerful, it doesn't deal in easy answers or fairytale endings but sheds Light on the realities of PTSD. Every veteran has a story & sometimes that story hurts to much to tell even to the people closest to them. Coming home is just the start of the journey home for soldiers who may have survived war physically but are far from healing psychologically.
Excellent movie to help understand PTSD. I think it does a service on just this and hope it helps a family or family member struggling with service time. Thank you for this movie as no one has touched specifically or dedicated a whole move to just this subject. God Bless those that served and God help those in need after service.
I would just like to say that this film delivers on many complex issues facing our Veterans. It is nice to see that it was done tastefully. The writers seem to be very respectful of the US Veterans. They took on a tough subject matter and have opened my eyes to what some of these kids are going through.
Kudos to the team effort on this film. Many great supporting roles. Tina Grimm, Louis Vanaria, Anthony Gallo, Robert Kirk, all familiar faces. And let's not forget the talents of the lead Michael Markiewicz along with Joe Lisi and the greats Armand Assante, Ed Asner and Tom Sizemore... All in all a really good and very touching movie A++

I suppose its a good movie depicting the effects of PTSD, however, the cinematography, acting, music and depth of plot lets this movie down. Having watched this, I'm now inclined to watch The Deer Hunter (1978) again for the 100th time,it is with out a doubt the best film of its kind.
