After getting back to Texas from fighting in Iraq, Brandon King tries to put everything behind him and start over with his life. But just when he is about to, the military orders him back in. He either has to go back into Iraq, go to jail or leave the country. This choice questions everything he stands for and King refuses to go back. | ||||||||

War, it's probably to men what romances are to women. There are millions of stories to tell. But therefore it's also difficult to get to something unique, without turning into something laughable. Stop-Loss seems to have the right ingredient though. A proper mix of substance and entertainment. A critique, without forgetting the importance of a story. With the director of Boys Don't Cry and actors Ryan Phillippe and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, this is most likely the future of Hollywood at work. Or is it the present?
