Ignore the ignorant idiots who give all F's
Dec 31, 2008

The ones who gave all F's probably haven't even seen the movie. It's ironic these ignorant pieces of trash immediately call the movie ANTIAMERICAN, when speaking up and addressing serious issues like this is one of the most patriotic things you... Full review

This is a great movie about how war affects the soldiers and everyone close to the soldiers involved. It is a mixture between Deer Hunter and Black Hawk Down. It reinforced my belief in how bad war is. It really made... Full review

This is a true story of what soldiers go through. Thousands of soldiers are stop-lossed and many soldiers, this is what they go through. Ryan Phillippe was fantastic, he played the role well. He had to be strong and go thur... Full review

For anyone who has served in the Armed forces this movie is a total slap in the face. First off, this movie depicts soldiers as all drunken, gun toting, loonies...who love to "shoot it up!" The movie is just pitiful. Also... Full review

Review by Louise Keller: In this disturbing film, director Kimberly Peirce tells a different kind of war story. Ryan Philippe is excellent as the traumatised Sergeant with a demon on his back, but this demon becomes a false engine in the film's emotional story. ... Full Review

Much of Stop-Loss is devoted to King slowly arriving at the devastating realisation there is no longer any place like home in his life.....smouldering away at the core of Stop-Loss....channelled perfectly by Ryan Phillippe in the lead role.... ... Full Review

The Age
Given the poor judgement calls, left-wing agendas and straight-out bad storytelling that has hobbled most films about Iraq, it is perhaps faint praise to declare Stop-Loss the most mature, intelligent, topical and emotionally confronting take on the war thus far. ... Full Review

Admirable intentions aside, Stop-Loss is a sturdy drama that fails to truly make the impact it should. The film also fails to capitalise on a couple of points. Unfortunately the film is a little heavy-handed. ... Full Review

Los Angeles Times
The movie motors along so quickly that some of that subtext gets lost. " Stop-Loss" slipped in and out of theaters last spring with little fanfare, except for all those media reports that cited its poor box office performance as evidence that Iraq war movies don't sell. ... Full Review
