Ben Foster is not like a soldier.

Shooting heavy themes. Either classic. Or boring.
Obviously. This film has a problem with casting, Ben Foster? This guy is thin and weak, and has no military appeal. Of course. Maybe someone said This is true? Don’t forget. The so-called art comes from life, but is higher than life. This is not a suspense film. The protagonist’s aura determines the type of character played. At least, Ben Foster is not suitable for < The messenger> this corner...

it feels like the director wanted to imitate Robert De Niro's . But it failed.
