good back-story, and good acting

It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

I don't say this because I am French, but I highly prefered the movie PIEGE, released in 2014 and telling nearly the very same topic. But the French feature was twenty minutes shorter, and for this kind od scheme, it's an important point. This film is also inspired by BURIED, from which many rip-offs were made: cave, car trunk, close places of any kind...And the hallucination mixed with flashback elements don't help much to totally appreciate this movie. At least for my own taste. The ending is pure garbage. Forget it at all costs !!!!

I made the mistake of reading its review score before watching it, so I was expecting something bad. But on the contrary, it was a very moving movie. I would advise not giving up after the first 15-20 minutes, as the story unfolds toward the end. So, yes the movie is inaccurate for all those military experts, but it doesn't stop me from enjoying the story behind it, which was very intense and involving.

Intensely Irritating. When the Tension in a Nail-Biting Thriller becomes Intolerably Corny, the Intention is Lost and the Frustrating Factor Fills in.The Side Character of Tommy (Tom Cullen) begins the Annoying Dialog and Behavior even before the Movie has a Chance to Gain some Interest and Momentum. It won't be the Last Thing that gets on the Nerves (and not in a good way).Everything Starts to become Bothersome. The Aloof, Inattentive Voice on the Radio from Headquarters, the Indigenous Goof that Starts the "Theme" or "Message" of the Movie. You've Gotta "Move On".Most Annoying of All is the Dripping with Clichés Flashbacks, Especially the Father, but also the Wife. The Third Act is Full of Itself and it just goes On and On to the Breaking Point of Audience Acceptance.Overall, the Film is too Heavy Handed, Corny, and Unending. It also is Bound to the Greatest of Movie Missteps. A Movie Must Move. This one is so Weighted with its own Heaviness that it Ain't Going Anywhere. Be Prepared to be Stuck in the Sand with Bad Writing and Over the Top Sentimentality.Note...For what it's worth, the Movie Stars Armie Hammer.

As soon as I saw the cover of the DVD i was hooked.And rightly so. This movie was absolutely stunning in every way. I am glad i never listen to the critics.The music was beautiful , the acting superb , the story and scenery were all excellent but yet some people feel the need to traduce it because its not full of action and they knew what was coming.It never was an action film but focused more on human frailty by centering itself on the human element of the main protagonists life and really pulled out all the stops , its one of the best films i have seen this year.If a film can evoke emotion from the audience and it did with me then its a winner in my book. Armie Hammer pulled it off well and his acting ability is proved for me in this film although Clint Dyer nearly stole the show!Don't listen to the critics , go view this I guarantee you wont be disappointed if you are looking for more than a war film with loads of CGI , Violence , Swearing and nudity. If you are looking for a bit more then this is for you!
