You ever ask for forgiveness for wasting two hours of your life?
Or wonder where those last two hours went? I mean, I know what I saw, I wasn't blacked out. Just trying to comprehend this "movie."
I actually was ready to turn this off about 39 minutes in and then...it got interesting. I was guessing the core of the plot just kicked in. Not really. It was just another event in this original, albeit strange experience.
A nympho girl wanders from man to drug to man while her partner left for a tour of duty. Is it up to a broken "religious" man to set her straight?
I think the movie's heart is in the right place. Plus, it's well acted, and shot. It's just tonally all over the place, unfortunately. I wasn't sure if I was watching a drama, comedy or adult hallmark melodrama about family issues. I guess things may have gotten resolved, but they feel more fixed on paper than before my eyes.
Samuel Jackson is the same as ever before, but if you want to see Christina Ricci in a VERY adult role, here you go. This is definitely one of those rare Show & do Tell films. It shows a lot and tells you everything you need to know/how to feel.
Not recommended. It's just there. It's kinda harmless, though despite being set in reality, it's really, really weird.

Final Thoughts: Absolutely not making light of people with PSTD, but is it possible to get that when you barely make it a couple of days into boot camp and then discharged? I understand one character already has issues prior, but the "conclusion" felt like an extreme case of post-traumatic stress disorder and I didn't buy it.
