I liked this film well enough. It told a sad story about some of the horrible realities that some of us face due to the gravitational pull created by the "war on terror". Sarandon carried the film but the part was written that way. This would have been better as a miniseries. I liked a lot of the characters despite their small parts. More about the son's current and previous trips to the Middle East and a less abrupt ending could have rounded out another episode or two. This was an American film which doesn't do mini-series nearly as much as the UK but it would have been better as a two parter. Anyone that rated this a 1 probably didn't watch it but scored it low because of Sarandon's political views. I don't care about that. If she sucked in a movie then I will say so but she did just fine in this one.
