Stop-Loss

I was pleasantly surprised. Sure it was a little stereotypical “Army”, but was very emotional on the Stop-Loss issue. Which I guess was a good thing, hence the name.  

The guys got blown up.  Killed people.  Children were blown up. Bleh.  I cried.  It makes our violence at home seem trivial to think of what happens elsewhere everyday.

I was relieved that Ryan Philippe had a southern drawl, I may love to look at him but his speech pattern too closely resembles an old boyfriend much like his face, heh. Usually I’m okay with him if he’s not talking, but he was really great and this was probably one of his best roles – finally playing a character rather than himself.
