Rating (1-10, 10 being highest): 6
Quick Rating: (skip, watch, watch when no other choice): Watch it
Story Line: Three army veterans coming back to Texas from Iraq to face life back home, and their unit leader (Ryan Phillippe) tries to escape his new "stop-loss" call back to duty.
What's good: I was expecting yet another Iraq veteran coming back to home and facing difficulties story. However, this movie was directed well (by Kimberly Peirce) into a good story-telling movie, as you watch Ryan Phillipe's character fights on against the US government.
What's bad: Action is limited - the only shooting action is in the beginning of the movie, when they are in Iraq.
Bottom line: A good story telling movie. Not your big gun war action movie - falls more on the drama genre. Real not much action, from any angle after the open scene, but if you are looking for some good movie drama, this is your choice.
