bonobox I've watched this TV series with higher expectations knowing also the fact that National Geographic was behind.I found it very slow paced, full of stereotypes and totally unrealistic from a military point view.Don't waste time.
pvinnitsky Several things just make no sense:1. US Army basically looks dumb and incompetent in this movie2. They attempt rescue at night but nobody is using night vision and there is no air support.3. They can't figure out where the 1st squad is located? really? with interpreter and another guy who speaks Arabic they can't ask or figure out their exact address/location? that is dumb.4. They wave their arms like idiots while rescue drives by instead of shooting enemy who can clearly be seen?5. Where are all the female soldiers?6. Why did they need an an unarmored truck with infantry, they were a liability not an asset not once but twice.7. why so much melodrama? Why focus on backstory of only some random soldiers, why not just do every single one?
DCCinema Simplistic reportage by a simple-minded reporter who will never understand what the people she interviews are telling her. It's a technically well-crafted motion picture, but lacks a realistic story. This society lady can go to war zones as many times as she wants and talk to all the soldiers she wants and she will still never understand what they are going through -- before, during or after. I'm sure she had good intentions, but this overly dramatic, heart-on-the-sleeve retelling of the story has only the impressions of a lady reporter garnered from a distance, not the complex impressions of soldiers or their families. This lady should stick to writing something she actually knows about first hand, not just something she finds fascinating. And yes, I'm a veteran.
Arch This was heavily marketed and I was very interested to watch it based on the cast and subject matter. However, The Long Road Home is dreadful on every level. The script is tortured (a weak narrative and asinine dialogue); the production quality poor and the performances stilted or soap opera-ish (I am sure due to the awful script). This was a missed opportunity for another perspective on recent history, though I think the source material was probably largely to blame - the book was apparently so badly written I was advised not to read it by a number of people. Overall, it felt like watching an interminable daytime drama and I had to give up shortly in to episode 3!
