Review of Stop-Loss (2008) by Luke R — 29 Dec 2008
Ryan Philippe stars in this quite effective, yet at times awkward, movie about a soldier forced back into duty after completing his tour in Iraq. It is certainly an interesting issue to tackle ("Stop-Loss") and something I had heard very little about before.
Philippe is solid, whilst not great, in the lead role here - with Aussie Abbie Cornish providing good support. Perhaps a little long at almost 2 hours, but it kept my interest pretty well although the last half was drawn out a bit.
Not bad, but I would only recommend it if there's nothing else on the shelf worth watching or if you're really interested in the subject matter.
