• An Arm, A Leg & An Eye
  Director Kimberley Peirce keeps the pace going well in this film about US soldier fighting in Iraq who find that they are being returned to active duty via the stop-loss clause. Ryan Philippe has been in a number of films that I like such as Crash (Widescreen Edition), Flags of Our Fathers (Widescreen Edition), Chaos & Breach (Widescreen Edition). As Sgt. Brandon King, he is the squad leader who looks forward to concluding his military service after experiencing the death of his fellow soldiers.more info

• Check your politics at the door and enjoy the performance
  The film has an anti-war message and it appears to me that most reviewers seem to love it or hate it depending on whether they agree with that message.

• Hidden knowledge of treatment of American Soldiers in the East.
  I had no idea what the term STOP LOSS meant. When I watched this movie, which I felt was excellent, I cried at the treatment of our young men and women in Iraq. So many suffer from Post Traumatic Stress Syndrom and need help but don't get it and they also suffer the inequalities of a Government they volunteered to help for a limited amount of time. I fear this is another Vietnam. Watch for the similarities the soldiers suffer from the two wars and worse consequences with the Iraqi War.

• Liberal Anti-Military Garbage
  This movie is just more anti-liberal garbage that attacks our military. I know three young men in the military who have been to Iraq and Afghanistan for multiple tours each. They volunteered for military service and are serving their country with pride. It is too bad that anti-American film-makers portray our brave young men in such a bad light. This is just not what are boys are like. This movie was the worst I have ever seen because it is no more than a cheap political statement against our country.
