Hell And Back (2011)

Gentlemen, has anyone seen this movie?
It looks pretty full on, could be a good watch.

Hell and Back

From his embed with US Marines Echo Company in Afghanistan, photojournalist and filmmaker Danfung Dennis reveals the devastating impact a Taliban machine-gun bullet has on the life of 25-year-old Sergeant Nathan Harris. The film seamlessly transitions from stunning war reportage to an intimate, visceral portrait of one man's personal struggle at home in North Carolina, where Harris confronts the physical and emotional difficulties of re-adjusting to civilian life with the love and support of his wife, Ashley. Masterfully contrasting the intensity of the frontline with the unsettling normalcy of home, HELL AND BACK AGAIN lays bare the true cost of war.

It is ok, the majority of the film is concentrating on the soldier and his family after he is injured and returned from Afghanistan. He has some weird ideas about things and all that occured to him certainly seems to have screwed him up a fair bit. If you are looking for a docu on some returning soldier who fights through injury to return to ful health then this is NOT it, he is rather depressing and morbid and doesn't seem that motivated to improve his situation but rather to dwell on what has happenned to him. Then again I guess that is realistic for the majority of people. I would rate it as ok only, nothing great but ok to watch.
