Amazon.co.uk Review

Kimberly Peirce's follow-up to Boys Don't Cry is another issue-driven look at its era: Stop-Loss hinges on U.S. military policy allowing Iraq War soldiers to be returned to combat even after their official enlistment times are up. In this case, a band of brothers return to home turf in Brazos, Texas, only to discover that team leader Brandon King (Ryan Phillippe) has gotten a Stop-Loss order to head back to the Middle East. After some flavourful sketches of small-town Texas life and the awkwardness of re-adjustment, the movie somewhat clumsily hits the road, where there's more wheel-spinning than deep insight. Peirce and co. seem to want to hit all the Iraq War bases, which may be one reason the film lacks a strong focus. Supporting soldiers Channing Tatum and Joseph Gordon-Levitt are rather more interesting than Phillippe's brooding hero, and Abbie Cornish is stuck in a thankless torn-between-two-lovers storyline. Stop-Loss is incredibly sincere, but the film feels like a project that began with an issue and a cause, rather than compelling characters. --Robert Horton


Synopsis

Director Kimberly Peirce (Boys Don't Cry) returns to the screen with this topical drama about the war in Iraq. Ryan Phillippe (Breach) plays a solider who finally gets to go home to America, only to be called back to fight in the Middle East. Stop-Loss co-stars Abbie Cornish, Channing Tatum, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt.

3.0 out of 5 stars Abbie Cornish ruins movie., 14 Jun 2009
By Edna Little (Stockport, England.) - See all my reviews
Who cast Abbie Cornish in this movie.? Her acting is so horrendously BAD (Wooden beyond words) that she ruins the movie for all the parts she^s in it. She was terrible in "Somersault" and even worse in this. With a permanently miserable expression on her face, and mumbling her lines. It^s a shame because the other actors were all excellent on their part.
Especially Ryan Phillipe. On coming back from Iraq. He and his men are celebrating their leaving the U.S army. When they are told because of the stop-loss clause in their contract. They will have to stay in the army and return to Iraq to continue fighting there. Already extremely traumatised by past events there, he is determined not to go back. The disgraceful Bush administration stop-loss clause has been used on so many returning soldiers in real life, that the film makers obviously felt it needed some attention.
Overall it^s a well done movie. But American soldiers in Iraq set movies and now t.v series are getting a bit boring. All very much the same.
Enough is enough on that topic now.

4.0 out of 5 stars Better than other "masterpieces", 30 Dec 2008
By Empe (Italy) - See all my reviews
War in Iraq is the new "trend" in american liberal cinematography. A series of "documentary" almost all critic (from Occupation: Dreamland to Taxi to the dark side, to Battle for Haditha), and some on the "internal front" movies (Home of the Brave, In the valley of Elah, Lions for Lambs and so on) and some (rare) war propaganda movie (American soldiers: a day in Iraq). This movie, low cost, minor cast, after the first 20 minutes with some "free hand camera made" reportage of good action scenes describe the happy return to home (so different from Vietnam war's movie) followed by the disillusion of a "hero" betrayed by US Army and by the "system" who want for him another "war tour" in Iraq. Is a good story of love, friendship and honour with a "patriotic" ending.
In my opinion is a movie better than more acclamated (above citated) films.
