It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.
When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Um argumento razoável com uma grande interpretação de Bale.
Needless, out of place violence and swearing (with blasphemy) that sounds like it's present just to be edgy and shocking. Terrible acting. Actors do not sync up with the role they're supposed to convince the audience that they fill.A disgraceful film that stereotypes ex-army men who have PTSD in a negative light.
I'll start this review by using the cliché that I want my 2 hours back.This film features an assortment of detestable, unlovable characters alongside a chaotic and slow moving plot. They go places, and do things, all the while moving toward the inevitable conclusion, which by the midpoint of the movie we've already figured out. There is an underlying theme of PTSD, but if the writers were trying to garner sympathy for the soldiers who suffer from it, they sure picked an awful individual. If anything, you leave more convinced that 'Jim' (Bale's character) was an crazy a-hole BEFORE he joined the army, and at least they unleashed him on the enemy, instead of the rest of us.If you are a die hard Christian Bale fan, and think you'd enjoy him spending 2 hours talking in gang slang, and breaking every law in the book, then this is for you. For the rest of the 99.99% of us, there are much better choices. Save your life and don't watch this one.
Really confused and misguided film. You will have a harsh time watching this!There is little to no story line and just random acts of violence which seem to serve no purpose other than to pad out a film. Christian Bale is as intense as ever but even he can't save a film with as little plot as this. Why the main character is the way he is is never really explained and the flash backs also make no sense and bare no relevance to the storyline. This film is just a bunch of random events thrown together and called cinema. Save yourself 2 hours and do something else.
