Review of Home of the Brave (2006) by Blanky A — 17 Apr 2010

While Home of the Brave is a great tribute to the soldiers fighting for our country, there is a little too much going on. It's a great idea to tell a story of one group of Army guards from one area of the country, but there is a lack of balance in whose story is being told or how redundant certain portions of those stories become.

We know that war is hell and coming home from war isn?t any better, but the message is put into overdrive in this film ? it literally feels like you?re being ambushed by the director. There are powerful scenes, but, for the most part, the movie seems melodramatic to the point where it feels more like a Hallmark movie of the week.
