Hard to watch at times because of the topic being discussed but also grounded and relatable. Performances are moving and heartbreaking
Well thought out & emotional, if not a bit slow.
Woody and Ben are fantastic as is a small but impactful performance by Steve Buscemi. Good drama but bleak stuff.
Ben Foster and Woody are both underrated in this one. Good perfomances.
A hard to watch drama but it has very good acting.
Pretty interesting look at an overlooked group of people.
A dark and brooding war/drama, superbly acted by all and a well crafted movie
Well-portrayed story of two officers whose difficult job brings them to their limits. Simple, well-acted.
Great movie actors play the roles perfectly but very sad and for certain audiences Way too realistic and relatable
Tough movie to watch but very much worth it. Some damn good acting in this very moving film.
