Home of the Brave (Re-Release)

For anyone who didn't read my criticsim of this horrid war veteran melodrama back in December, here it is one more time. Apparently, the people at MGM are confident enough in the film to re-release it to a limited number of theaters once more. The December run was part of a botched and wholly unmerited Oscar campaign that seemed to have more to do with the "serious content" of the the film than any sort of measure of its quality. Samuel L. Jackson, Jessica Biel, and 50 Cent star here in largely cartoonish roles as soliders returning from Iraq in varying degrees of distress. Hopefully, this second run doesn't last long either. This one's a real stinker. For the complete review go here
