I'm very very excited for this movie. Being a huge fan of American Beauty I can't wait to see what Sam Mendes has in store for us with this one.

After this movie, and the upcomming Zodiac, I think Jake will have 3 big hits to his name.

Sorry to be so lazy, but what's the official release date on it? They couldn't have picked a better song than Jesus Walks for the trailer... it's perfect.

the release is November 4th (this friday) I saw it tonight on at an advanced screening and I loved it. Ill wait for others to have a chance to see it before getting into any real details. But id highly recommend it.

im with you there.. the only hit i think of jake being in is donnie darko

I'll be seeing this tomorrow, hopefully, I won't be disappointed.

I must admit, that was pretty damn good.

Movie bombed big time if you ask me.I was expecting a better plot but hey thats me.It was alright but it will never be The Thin Red Line or a NORTH AND SOUTH .Now those where good war movies.

Come'on even Glory was a better movie

I thought it was excellent.

It was visually stimulating and beautiful and offered a new perspective on war and military service in particular. It exposes how meaningly and trivial most of the time spent in the military is to so many people. On top of this it has some outstanding scenes of poetic irony.

Also I'd hesitate to call this a war film. War films are generally centered around war and it's basic premis - fighting. This film is centered on the personal wars and confusion of the soldiers in a war that, to them, doesn't exist outside of propoganda and rhetoric. There is not one "war" scene in the whole movie.

The acting was also superb, Sarsgaard stole the show and I think is going to be really big in the near future, he's very talented.

I think if you go into this movie with the correct expections, you won't be disapointed.

Fantastic. Sam Mendes always does a good job. Look at American Beauty. I loved how it wasn't just battles, it was awesome.

did you know anything about the movie before you saw it? Do you know anything about history and about desert storm? Im gonna go out on a limb and guess you dont have a clue.

I really loved it, excellent portrayal of the Gulf War. Can't wait for Mendes's next film.

Went to see this last night. Pretty good. Gylenhamahowzits and "Stealthy Ray" both did a pretty good job with this one. Loved the comedy bits. All and all a good movie 😄

I'm seeing it tonight! 🤘

I thought the movie was great. I loved when Fox

Spoiler:
yells at the dead guy's body for being a dumbass.

Excellent movie.

Plots flows smoothly, conflicts deepen and fluctuate with bits of intense images or vivid shots inter-woven.

Acting was simply superb... Jake did an incredible job, as did Sarsgaard.

All in all a powerful experience.

8/10

Peter Sargaard stole the show for me.

Beautiful film.

Good movie. I really liked it. Review coming soon (hopefully)
