Well-intentioned but overall misjudged, Man Down makes an unfortunately muddled attempt to mine thoughtful drama out of modern warfare's emotional wreckage.

Once the smoke clears and the shock of its twists wears off, Man Down is even worse than it originally appears. Mar 31, 2017 | Rating: 1/5 | Full Review…

An oppressive cloud of macho self-pity hangs over this muddled and overwrought movie, which involves a cliched narrative device that is glib and unsatisfying. Mar 30, 2017 | Rating: 1/5 | Full Review…

A uniquely unpleasant mash-up of moody post-apocalyptic adventure and moodier wartime melodrama. Dec 5, 2016 | Rating: D+ | Full Review…

Man Down carries a poignant message about American veterans' mental health needs, but you may give up on the movie before it gets there. Dec 2, 2016 | Full Review…

The final sequence, when all is revealed, is overwrought, excruciatingly shrill, manipulative, and exploitative -- and hardly a surprise to anyone even halfway paying attention. Dec 2, 2016 | Rating: 1/4 | Full Review…

MAN DOWN attempts to cram a murky mass of plot and emotion into an hour-and-a-half of screen time. In the process, little of its meaning survived, and we're left with an appalling film. Mar 30, 2019 | Rating: D | Full Review…

It's difficult to recommend this poorly-wrought war drama to anyone with 90 minutes to spare and literally anything else to do. Mar 19, 2018 | Rating: 1.5/5 | Full Review…

Unfortunately, until the revelatory last 15 minutes, it does itself no favours at all. Oct 12, 2017 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

The acting in this is great, but the story is crazy. It is hard to follow and in the end when it makes sense you think why did they do that? I really like Dito I just wish this was a better executed and more thought out story.
