Movie Reviews of Stop-Loss
Movie Review: Love, Love, Love this movie!
Summary: 5 Stars
I absolutely loved this movie, I like the war movies and how they show how real it, is. It shows 2 young men, who serve in the corp for their times, that they had signed on for. And when they are done serving their time, they go to Sign their papers stating that they get out. And one of them, gets a "stop-loss" the president stated that he needed "king" to go back to the war, he was such a great soldier, they needed him. But he didn't want to go back, he had served his time, and was done, done killing people, done with fighting the war. And it gets better from there, if you haven't seen this movie, you should see this one! It's a great movie! It shows you what a lot of soldiers are going through, right now. And has heart and there are some funny parts in the movie.Movie Review: This movie is one of a kind!
Summary: 5 Stars
I actually thought that this would be just another war movie. I was wrong. It's actually not a war movie at all. This is simply a story about a soldier that has done his time in Iraq and the same country he's just fought for refuses to let him leave. I had no idea this was going on. Thank-God i decided not to join the military. I always hated the fact that the army acts as if they own the troops. They are not property of the United States, they are defenders of our country. Ryan Phillippe gives one of the best performences of his career. I believe he's one of the most underated actors in hollywood. This movie is definately a must see.Movie Review: Check your politics at the door and enjoy the performance
Summary: 5 Stars
The film has an anti-war message and it appears to me that most reviewers seem to love it or hate it depending on whether they agree with that message. Try to put your politics aside and just appreciate this film as a first-rate piece of cinematic art with powerful performances by the entire cast. There is not one weak performance. I also urge those who are obsessed with military technical accuracy to put their quibbles aside. I was a cold-war era anti-submarine warrior and I can't watch "The Hunt for Red October" without being mildly annoyed by some technical inaccuracies, but it's still one of my favorite films.Movie Review: Worth Watching -- and Remembering
Summary: 5 Stars
Even though The New Yorker called it "forceful, effective, and alive, with the raw mixed up emotions produced by an endless war," the movie "Stop-Loss" only made about $11 million at the box office (or about what Transformers eat for breakfast). Tens of thousands of servicemen and women had their service in Iraq and Afghanistan involuntarily extended because of the stop-loss fineprint in their enlistment contracts. "Stop-Loss" puts a human face on this bait-and-switch policy -- and dramatically illuminates the ongoing costs of the war that play out when the troops come home.Movie Review: Must see!
Summary: 5 Stars
At first I was not interested in this movie -- I don't care for war movies and I had a tough time getting past the first 1/2 hour. However, at my family's urging I did see the whole movie and realized it was one of the best movies I have ever seen. My cringing at the initial violence turned out to be the point of the movie. The performers were absolutely excellent and the thoughts and issues raised in this movie will stay with me forever. This movie is a must -see for everyone!
