The Long Road Home Audience Reviews

Scanialara You won't be disappointed!
Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.
Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
skoebrich I just can't begin to describe the awfulness of this show. The portrayal of the commander (Gary Volesky) rises almost to the level of stolen valor in the central role they give him in the event, when he was in reality only involved from the sidelines. Catching a grenade and tossing it out his HUMMVEE window? Please! I personally know several soldiers who were part of this event, and they are hurt and insulted by how it has been rewritten into a standard Hollywood shoot 'em up. I sincerely hope Martha Radditz wasn't consulted during production - if she was, then I'm sincerely disappointed in Martha Radditz.

haines403 These made for TV series do no justice to the reality of being in a war zone and never will,the poor acting adds to the feeling of the unrealism and characters that you don't care if they live or die due to having no likable characteristics. The cleanliness of it all and the lets be in church in our Sunday best and everybody looks like a soccer mom doesn't fit well to the whole thing,luckily the child with a bad foot who the Americans couldn't of wished for a more used character type to hobble over didn't take long to appear and neither did the well used stereotypical unfriendly locals the gunfire scenes were reminiscent of an episode of the a-team where the odds of winning the lottery were greater than getting hit by one of the 4 million bullets flying about,unfortunately after episode one i think the best thing to do is go awol and declare yourself a consiencious objector.
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!
