This is a timely picture that opens a narrow window into the hearts and minds of a group of soldiers in the heat of battle and allows us to look through. The scene is one of abandonment, frustration, and loss, and the black and white tones used bring those feelings home for the viewer, contrasted with the idyllic flashbacks of the homeland shot in color. While writer/director Stasolla's reverence for the uniform is apparent, he has drawn each character like a many-faceted but flawed gem, and we watch with hope and horror as we wonder whether they will strengthen or shatter under the strains they face. It is a movie that reminds us all to hope and pray that those currently serving abroad return home safe and sound.
