3/5 Never Quite Flies
  by G. YEO (Singapore)
The cover art is illusory - Home of the Brave looks like a war-in-the-desert film, but it is in fact about soldiers coming home and dealing with post traumatic stress disorder. Despite the strong cast, the film never really gels, and for such a potent subject, somehow the film falls short. Maybe it's because we're used to watching hyperkinetic action films like Blackhawk Down or The Kingdom, that Home of the Brave looks a little tame next to that. Irwin Winkler's direction and the maudlin soundtrack makes the film somewhat old fashioned - and as the film goes on, the subject matter seems to limp on and feels more like a TV movie. There isn't much else to say but don't get this if you are expecting an action film. It's not intense enough as a drama either. There isn't a shortage of Iraq war films out there so keep looking.

PS - It's admirable to have a movie to showcase PTSD, but perhaps a documentary would serve that subject better.

1/5 Was it all on purpose?
  by Thomas K. Thresher
I am a Field Artillery officer in the US Army. It's funny to watch films about the military and notice things that are wrong with the uniforms, weapons, radio chatter, etc; but it's usually small infractions and doesn't ruin the movie. I am fairly positive that the director went out of their way to make the most horribly incorrect film about the military, let alone Iraq, I have ever seen. Obviously having correct uniforms and whatnot is not necessary for the average audience, but it was more than just that, everything was just so wrong it caused me to laugh out loudly a few times. The plot was also as cliche and stereotypical as one could imagine. I'm actually getting mad writing this, just don't see it, it's possibly the worst movie ever made and I sort of want to point at the director and just laugh.

This was a well made movie that hits home with everyone that has someone over there in the military...
