Nice-glad to see this movie is coming to NY. I saw it at the Austin Film Festival this year and it was my favorite movie of the festival. I thought it was a very good storyline and it did a great job of not making the Army seem like the big evil machine and the little guy who was helpless. I think it told an interesting, realisitc story about soldiers who weren't expecting to actually get called to go to war and how they react. I think I'll go see it again now that it's here in my hometown!
What a compelling,movie..the acting, music, lighting..and a topic we never see in the movies: the reservists and their band of "brothers" Catch it as soon as you can
