Man Down (2015) Reviews

  • Probably one of the most under-rated films I've seen.

    TheTopDawgCritic2017-02-21

    Wow the critics went hard on this film and I don't know why. It's probably one of the most under-rated films I've seen, and I'm glad I did, as it was excellent. I'm not a huge Shia LaBeouf fan but his performance in this was outstanding! I hope he wins some type of award for his amazing acting. It was a little slow in the beginning but the back and forth between time lines was interesting enough (and kept getting more interesting) to keep me hooked in. Although I'm not a fan of back and forth time lines (I actually hate too much of it), this was done very well, and it was necessary to keep the viewer guessing and in suspense of what happens next. The film did very well in getting a strong point across about vets and PTSD. It's too bad the critics couldn't see the glory in this film - directing, acting, cinematography, score, etc... all top notch! A well deserved 9/10 and a must see film!

  • Confused at first, and then bam! It hit me.

    banglainey2017-02-26

    I must say, I tend to really like films that Le Bouf plays in. He has a knack for picking good films, he just really does. As much as you might hate him personally, he knows a good story when he sees one. This film I had heard very little about, I knew it had something to do with war, but not much else. Seems it is highly underrated. I'm not even sure if it had a theatrical release or not. When the film opened I was pretty skeptical. It seemed boring as all hell. Slow moving. Not very interesting. Military guy, yadda yadda. The opening was tinted with confusing "flashback" type scenes, boring paranorama or desolated wasteland that wasn't explained and other apocalyptic type scenes that didn't seem to fit into the rest of the movie. I kind of started losing interest and was barely paying attention, when all of a sudden... The movie took a crazy turn, and I realized what was really going on, and why everything seemed confusing and off with the timing. It all came together, and I was sincerely impressed. The music is a little over the top and too sentimental at a lot of parts, but the story is very well written. You just don't realize it at first how brilliant it is. 7/10 because the first part was so confusing and I felt a lot of the music was bad and just distracted from what was happening.

  • Movie about war vets

    masakobuchi2017-02-26

    I didn't know much about this film before I watched it. But WOW, My only question, how come the rating isn't higher? Absolutely beautiful film. The movie is about war and love and there are many film about that, but the way they did "man down" I've never seen before. Lots of symbolisms, and back and forth between timelines. I was really moved by it. I encourage people to watch it, the film deserves a higher rating.

  • Forgotten heroes

    DoNotTrustImdb2017-02-22

    Damn this one blew me out of the water! Here I thought I was going to watch some post apocalyptic film, and yeah I do like those sorts, but this film just left me breathless. I know the subject at hand is politically a very touchy subject, but no matter what side of the fence you sit at look at the damage that is still done to the best part of our generation, young men and women! Sadly war is and has been part of humanity's own downfall, but seeing the numbers regarding the forgotten heroes at the end brought tears to this stone cold hearted tough as nails old mans eyes. I don't know what else to say but to watch this film, one of the better on the subject for years. 10 out of 10 for me, and yeah I don't even care for the main lead actor, but man did he nail this role on the head. Bring back our soldiers and look after those that needs us.

  • Spoiler free review from a vet

    aj12182017-04-07

    The direction that the film is attempting is valiant, but sadly as someone who has served, and understands combat this movie misses the mark completely. Man Down is a movie that wants to make a statement about PTSD and suffering but it handles the subject matter like a bull in a china shop. It handles the subject matter just like "The Hurt Locker", it will make most people emotional, but it will annoy every veteran because of how inaccurate the movie is about…well everything. Dito Montiel, the director, wanted to take an emotional movie about the ravages of war but his direction and understanding is terrible. Instead of showing real symptoms of PTSD it makes the main character look schizophrenic and crazy. This is exacerbated further by the non-linear story telling that at times jumps around the time line way too much. The very few times you begin to get into the scene, suddenly you jump to the main character and suddenly he has a beard and we are in the crazy phase again. Shai tries his best, but unlike in Fury he doesn't capture the essence of the Marine. It might be because he went from an eccentric secondary character into a crazy main character. The odd Soldier/Marine is a tough character to play and an even harder character to carry a movie. This movie is a 4/10 for a civilian, lower if you are a veteran 2/10(not because it is about PTSD but because it handles it so poorly).
