Joe's War

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 movie demonstrates an all too often repeated tragedy. Our military people suffer for years after service. Sometimes for life. More attention needs to be brought to this subject and our military.

Watched "Joes War" twice, it is a very deep and compelling story. The acting was heartfelt and moving on a subject that needs much more exposure. I felt the story was true to life as I know many people that suffer from PTSD!!

I recommend this movie to be seen by everyone, as we are all affected in one way or another with this horrible disease. I believe this movie will shed some light and may possibly save someones life, who can ask for more!!

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.

Good special effects and the uniforms were pretty much accurate, but once again, Holly is selling the liberal thought that all G.I.s are suffering from PTSD and just human time bombs waiting to go off. This is unacceptable to those of us who have seen heavy combat and survived with the tools most of us have at hand. Seeing folks like Ed Asner in any role in a movie about war is a dead giveaway it will be a pure propaganda piece.

If you enjoy action movies just for the explosions, you're fine, but if you are a history nut, or even a veteran...I suggest you move on. As Gen Patton said..."These folks know as little about war, as they do about fornicating".
