Tobey MaGuire, Jake Gyllenhaal and Natalie Portman turn in very very strong performances in this 2009 movie about a family that goes through a torrid time when Sam(Maguire) who is on his 4th Tour in Afghanistan goes missing and is presumed dead. Grace(Portman) tries to hold her family together and gets help from Tommy(Gyllenhaal), Sam's brother who is just out of jail.
When Sam is found alive and is brought back into their lives, but no one is the same again. Uncomfortable wouldn't start to describe it.
It was a strong story, with emotional performances by the 3 leads. One of the better movies of 2009 i'd say.
Verdict : very impressed
