Plot
A veteran soldier returns from his completed tour of duty in Iraq, only to find his life turned upside down when he is arbitrarily ordered to return to field duty by the Army.
Sinekatalog’s take
A soldier's return becomes a bitter fight with the system that will not let him leave. The scenes of home-front anger and friendship are the strongest, while the road-movie stretch loses focus. A sincere anti-war drama best for viewers who care about veterans' stories.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
