Surprisingly incoherent and boring

Fantastic!

Excellent, a Must See

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

I picked this film out of a bin at a store. I wasn't sure exactly what it was about. I loved it. So intense. I'm very much into Military films and this one was awesome. Kerry Valderamma did a GREAT job directing this film and I would love to see more films like this that deal with the real issues that our soldier suffer from after going through war experiences.

What irked me the most about this film was the lack of attention to details, and what I consider an important one. The flags on the right shoulders of the uniforms were correctly worn "backwards" with the canton (field of stars) are in the top right corner instead of the left. Army regulations call for the flag "to be worn so that to observers, it looks as if the flag is flying against a breeze." If a soldier was moving forward, the flag on the right shoulder would appear to be in motion. However if a flag is worn on the left shoulder, the canton should face left as it usually does. In this film some left shoulders had flags worn "reverse", which is just wrong. I've never had the honor of serving my country, but as an American I want our flag to be shown proper respect.

I have seen movies before on this type on budget and Garrison most certainly exceeds its expectations. If you are expecting some huge military film then I would not recommend this movie for you. There are hardly any type of battle scenes and the ones that are shown are very small in scale. There are some interesting scenes throughout the film that do come as a pleasant surprise. I would still recommend this movie since the acting and overall story line keeps you watching until the end. I gave it an 8 because it was apparent that this film was made with no money, and any film on the military and PTSD has my vote.

Usually the sound effects aren't the first thing that I notice in a movie, but they are superbly done in this movie. The acting and direction are great too, but the sound effects keep you on the edge of your seat. The suspenseful tones and the Foley artwork blend nicely with the story, yet are not overly obtrusive and noticeable. I'm not sure who did the sound effects on this movie, but I'll certainly be looking for more movies from this team in the future. The lighting and cinematography were also well done and the story and character development were also easy to follow and intriguing. I'm not sure why most people I know haven't seen this great movie yet.
