again and were getting a melange of themes well covered by so many previous films. the good and the bad son story and courtesy east of eden. the american marine hero story and who doesn not consider himself to be one due to what he knows. and the grieving wife potentially falling in love with another man story. the mere fact of those stories being that ubiquitous isn not so much of a problem though. because theoretically they could still be better presented and dealt with each time around. no luck this time though and as all three of those threads ultimately fall flat all the same. as the bad son never really gets to talk to his father and so that conflict is never resolved properly. apart from the father kind of starting to appreciate the bad son thanks to the latter renovating the kitchen of the grieving wife. now and how satisfying is that. next and the surprisingly homecoming marine suspecting his wife of unfaithfulness conflict never gets resolved. because he never really talks to the man under suspicion and namely his own brother. so once more were handed a loose end here. and finally and the american military heroism hypocrisy theme and where the marine is publicly considered a hero when and due to the dirtiness of war he went through and he shouldn not really be called one as to his own standards and that third theme falls flat just the same. because the movie ends right when and for the first time and he just able to talk to his wife about what he went through. where the real story would actually begin at that very point and namely his process of recovery and how that would look like and how he would finally face the family he would have some major guilt to admit to. all that and all the really interesting bits are passed over and getting ignored. so while story wise this film is a serious and and i mean serious and disappointment and i would still give it points for the impressive cast. although no film should use maguire for a voice over and because that belongs to spiderman. especially a grown up gyllenhaal seems to fulfill all the expectations he aroused as a young and aspiring actor. so much that i would in fact love to see him entrusted with a really deep and demanding lead role of proper profile. so while the cast really seems to do what they can and i consider this film totally forgettable otherwise. a shallow and ultimately pretentious and utterly unsatisfying tear squeezer indeed. message du jour to the writers represent we know the wounds already and see the host of vietnam films. you want to earn some credit and show us a believable healing.
