STOP-LOSS

In Kimberly Peirce's follow up to "Boys Don't Cry", she tries her hand on a controversial topic in "Stop-Loss". Named after the military program that sends soldiers back for another tour of duty after they have already served their full term. This is just another attempt at making a drama out of war and It was very average at best. No characters that I actually cared for and the story of a decorated Sgt. on the run to prove a point, really did nothing for me. It was between a war movie and a drama, but neither one of them was that interesting. Quite boring with no reason or point. It could've have been a good movie with a better script or story, but it just lacks any intriguing or entertainment value on any level. I will say that I thought it was a solid effort on the production side, but just fell flat on the artistic side. Barely worth renting.
