Stop-Loss

What can I say? On the one hand this Kimberly Pierce film (her first since Boys Don't Cry) is well-made from a technical standpoint. It's a "good movie", no question. On the other hand it's about as subtle as Roseanne Barr and Sean Hannity playing tubas as they lead the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. It's preachy, and some of it is a chore to sit through. But, again, it looks great, and it stars some watchable actors doing nice work, though the plot puts them in a string of extreme situations. I guess my reaction can be summed up as "mixed".
