Definitely a worth wile movie to watch, regardless of its overthrowing qualities and contrived passions. A traumatized war photo-journalist, returns home from Kurdistan, taking the pictures more that he can hoard. But not just the pictures, he is consulted by the psychiatrist and the movie unfolds. The movie hits rock bottom when his psychiatrist tells him "We can't take the pain away, we have to live with it forever...this is called life" when the protagonist is lying on his bed. Collin Ferrell acting is great like always. Overall he does justice to the movie. To be honest this movie seems as it is well behind its time, in moments i felt like it was 80's film. What i actually mean is the movie would have nominated for awards if it was 80's, 2010 was a wrong time. The overall acting is good,I like the score too, the worst part is the movie itself. The movie doesn't lead us anywhere, nonetheless this movie is different than other in the respect that, it doesn't attenuates like other movie. It only gets denser after every minute of it. Last but no the least great story this movie had potential and i myself was expecting much from it but overall the movie is mediocre.

With a clearly forced-slimmed Colin Farrell (and an old-school superstar cameo), fairly well-observed 1980's styling and an unusual take on post-traumatic stress disorder (the protagonists are journalists rather than soldiers) this film has plenty to recommend it. Indeed, I like a lot of what Colin Farrell does. He's part of an A-list school of acting who is hired because they do facets of themselves rather well, such as intensity and masculinity, etc. and though their dramatic kaleidescope can be limited, revelation isn't necessarily what I'd paid to watch.

If that sounds negative-by-stealth, well, I'm afraid that this is a film in which the creak of ill-assimilated set-pieces, scripting, editing and a noticeably studied screen grammar seem to leak across the screen. There's a heavy use of flashback which, in this post-puzzlebox era seems a mite laboured. I also felt that the (to put it loosely) truth-and-reconciliation 'message' overwhelmed the script that have plenty of room for a drama that would have carried it just as well. It's not a bad film but its limitations are visible. 4/10
