The ensemble cast works hard, but hammy direction and a script lacking in nuance ruins this movie's noble intentions.

Obvious, plodding, cloying and politically innocuous. Apr 16, 2008
Obvious, plodding, cloying and politically innocuous.

I must say the best thing about the movie is that it's interested in the soldiers, not the self-serving popinjays who seem to think the war is a big fat career-enhancing photo opportunity. The people who got shot at deserve most of the attention. May 10, 2007 | Full Review…

Home Of The Brave ultimately says ... what? War is tough. That's fair, and so is [director] Winkler's reluctance to engage the politics of this particular war and focus on the soldiers that fight it. Dec 17, 2006 | Rating: D+

The intentions are good. The actors have been assembled with care, and the production is polished. But everything feels assembled, as if it were put together from blueprints. Dec 15, 2006 | Rating: 2/4

The war in Iraq gets a lathery soft soap treatment in producer-cum-director Irwin Winkler's distortion of emotions and realities associated with a group of returning soldiers. Apr 24, 2009 | Rating: D- | Full Review…

While the film tries to be sensitive to the people's plight, it does itself (and the soldiers) a disservice by presenting them as brittle, emotionally fragile victims. Oct 25, 2007 | Rating: 1.5/5 | Full Review…

Missed opportunity for some cutting irony on behalf of indigenous people who have always been the victims in one way or another, of dubious celebrations like Thanksgiving, the laborers are instead merely a dramatic device - wallpaper really. Oct 21, 2007 | Full Review…
