[An] appallingly manipulative psychological thriller, which scolds audiences for not caring enough about our veterans, while counting on the well-meaning message to excuse this otherwise awful mess of a movie.
Full reviewShia LaBeouf plays a haunted Afghanistan war veteran searching desperately for his son in this post-apocalypse psychological thriller. Co-stars Gary Oldman.
"Gabriel Drummer (LaBeouf) is a 30-year-old marine discharged after a catastrophic error in Afghanistan irreparably changes his life. Gabriel’s counselor, Peyton Calvin (Oldman), guides him in unraveling the thrilling puzzle of his experience and navigating the unstable boundary between perception and reality."
