far from classic

First of all, the subject matter is actually not very novel, and it can be replaced with the Vietnam War as the background (I vaguely remember seeing a Vietnam War movie before, in which the male protagonist was unable to extricate himself because he killed his companion). Perhaps because of just watching the bomb disposal unit, the Afghanistan battlefield in this film gives a superficial impression. Only the design of the video tape shows the director's position, but it is a bit blunt.
The biggest regret is that Tobey did not support this film. According to the design of the script, it actually gave him a lot of performance space (the happy family at the beginning) The strength and fear on the battlefield, the confusion after returning home), if you change it like Tom Hanks The actor almost won the Oscar, but his performance on the screen is really not as good as Jake, and it is estimated that there will be no nominations. Natali's performance is amazing, but it doesn't seem to match Tobey.
