THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE FULL MOVIE REVIEW

Thank You For Your Service!

                                                       A group of U.S soldiers who return home from the war in Iraq struggle to live a normal life of a civilian as they reminisce the gruesome war that threatens to destroy them long after they have left the battlefield.
                               There have been a number of films that focus on war veterans and the trying times they face once they return home from the war, and Thank You For Your Service doesn't quite go off the beaten track. The film begins with Staff Sergeant Adam Schumann (Miles Teller) going back home after 15 months to his wife Saskia (Haley Bennett) and their two young children. His absence from home has resulted in the kids viewing their father more like a stranger since he has missed a chunk of their childhood while fighting battles in war-torn Iraq. Although happy to be back with his family amidst familiar surroundings, Adam struggles to get back to normalcy thanks to the fact that he is suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) that causes terrifying flashbacks and difficulty adjusting to domestic life. As Saskia goes through her own torment of watching her husband deteriorate in front of her eyes, she convinces him to get help at the Department of Veterans Affairs, which is already overwhelmed with physically and mentally stunted soldiers. Adam finds comfort in two fellow soldiers — Solo Aeiti (Beulah Koale) and Billy Waller (Joe Cole) who are battling their own demons after returning home from the horrors of war.

                                                          With a fairly talented cast, Thank You For Your Service deftly showcases the emotional trauma that soldiers go through during combat, and more importantly, after it. From the performances, Teller and Koale stand out, as the remorseful soldiers who are struggling to come to terms with traumatic events. The rest of the supporting cast ably showcase the lives of war veterans and their families without going over the top.

                                                Inspired by a true story, the film follows a group of US war veterans after they return from their long stint in Iraq and the struggles they face as they try to adjust to life back home while dealing with painful memories that refuse to go away. The range of emotions — from anger and guilt to fear and redemption — is subtly captured by director Jason Hall. You do feel sorry for the characters as they try to manoeuvre through a web of emotions. Unfortunately, although the film engages you in the beginning, the pace tends to slow down towards the end. While war films aren't always everyone's cup of tea, thanks to their (usually) dramatic storyline, this one's worth a watch if you're in the mood for something serious.

Aval movie review

Aval movie cast :.         Siddharth, Andrea Jeremiah, Anisha Angelina Victor Aval movie director: Milind Rau The advent of horror comedies has seemingly reduced the interest in filmmakers in the south Indian industry to make a full-length horror film that could make audience cower in their seats biting their nails while trying to look away from the screens. An honest terror-inducing film from the rarely explored horror genre in Tamil cinema had been long overdue. And Aval is here to fill that void. Director Milind Rau and actor Siddharth, who has also co-written Aval, has whipped up a bold and smart horror film that grabs you by your throat and retains its firm grip until the end. The suffering of two families haunted by ghosts and the people who try to help them is set in the backdrop of beautiful landscapes of Himachal Pradesh and it’s 2017. The seed for the story was sowed during the 1930s. Dr Krishna (Siddharth), a successful brain surgeon and...

An insignificant man movie review:-                                                      Funded by India's biggest crowdfunding campaign and Sundance, An Insignificant Man is a non-fiction political thriller following ArvindKejriwal& the AamAadmi Party, during the 2013 Delhi election campaign. The film goes behind closed doors of the new party, as it tries to shake up Indian politics, while struggling to keep it's own idealism alive.                                                                The mark of a good documentary is that you forget that the events unfolding on the screen are not fiction. An Insignificant Man achieves that and even surpasses it. ArvindKejriwal become...

Blade runner 2019 movie review

Blade Runner 2049 Story: Thirty years after the events of the first film, a new blade runner, LAPD Officer K (Ryan Gosling), unearths a long-buried secret that has the potential to plunge what is left of society into chaos. K's discovery leads him on a quest to find Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford), a former bladerunner who has been missing for 30 years. Blade Runner 2049 Review:  It would be easy to accuse Hollywood of making another massive cash grab by revisiting Ridley Scott's sci-fi cult classic 'Blade Runner'. 35 years after the original in 1982, what other reason would there be for going back to that unique world? Turns out that it's the one that made the most sense - to tell a great story helmed by a masterful storyteller. Denis Villeneuve is fast approaching the upper echelons of modern-day directors, and his vision here is so well-defined and executed that it wouldn't be a far stretch to say he has already arrived. This is not just a ...
