| DVDTalk.comDavid CorneliusA heartbreaking attempt to bring the war closer to home. |
| User ReviewSheila PIf you think that war is splendid go see this movie. I was moved to tears, literally, and I don't even cry at movies. The war in Iraq has human faces; this film is a glaring reminder of that, which many people prefer to ignore. |
| User ReviewErin Dthis doco absolutly devestated me.. i cried like a little baby.. i have nothing but respect and admiration for these soldiers and their families.. |
| User ReviewPrivate UI saw this documentary a long time ago and thought it was very moving and powerful. I hate war but I respect the soldiers who give up their lives and their livelihood for their country. We need to bring these soldiers home. |
| User ReviewMatt DThis was a powerful documentary seeing those who come home from Iraq & recover from their injuries. James Gandolfini was perfect hosting it. God bless him. He just let them talk. |
| User ReviewMichael SNo matter what you think of the Iraq war, these soldiers' stories - and the sacrifices they made for this country - are inspiring. |
| User ReviewRoss BJames Gandolfini interviews several injured soldiers in this heartbreaking documentary where soldiers talk about the day that they narrowly escaped death. The film is gripping and will keep your attention, however it does like to shock and awe. Whether intentional or not, the editing is sometimes used to surprise instead of help to understand these soldiers situations. Some stories are more effective then others, but they all show the trauma caused by the wars. Even though it may be a little deceptive in its ways, it is a touching and emotional look at what these men and women have given to America. |
| User ReviewAlex rJames Gandolfini interviews several veterans of the Iraq war, and they discuss their alive day, a day where each soldier nearly died. This day in the military is not a celebration, but mostly a day of reflection. These interviews are captivating, and the story that each soldier recounts is important as they relive these moments. Watching them speak about their near death experience you really get a sense of what it must be like for these soldiers, and you definitely come to appreciate what these men and women have sacrificed during their of duty. Informative, and necessary, Gandolfini uncovers this much needed story from these veterans and brings to light an important subject. I come from a military family, and for me, this is an important, must see documentary that is worth seeing. Throughout the documentary, you get eye opening stories that make you respect these soldiers that much more. I'm always interested in hearing true experiences from veterans, and this documentary, like I've said, is unique because it recounts a near brush with death that each soldier has gone through. For that, it makes for a much more engaging experience, and it's one that you won't forget. The interviews are in depth, and informative and are conducted with great respect to these veterans. This is a great documentary for anyone interested in the effects of war on soldiers and how close they came to dying in service of their country. This is also a perfect tribute to soldiers serving overseas and it's important to appreciate what these men and women have done for us. |
