D-
"It's purely amateur hour here; a laughably produced elegy for the common man facing war time blues, placing substantial dramatic weight on the shoulders of one of Hollywood's larger professional question marks, Chris Klein. Ouch."  DVDTalk.com  Brian Orndorf

2.5/4
"...an engaging little drama that benefits from the stellar performances of its various actors."  Reel Film Reviews  David Nusair

"Sabotaged by trite political dissertation and the presumption of novelty, the story forces Klein to shoulder much of the film's white-male-hetero paranoia."  Village Voice  Ed Gonzalez

1/5
"A flat and poorly written drama about three buddies who are drafted and have 30 days to report."  Spirituality and Practice  Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat

2/4
"The film's relentless focus on the personal shortchanges the larger issues and ultimately reduces Fellner, Rifkin and Dixon to sociopolitical stereotypes."  TV Guide's Movie Guide  Maitland McDonagh

.5/4
"Proves that Hollywood doesn't have a monopoly on ponderous, ersatz-thoughtful war dramas."  Slant Magazine  Nick Schager
