When the picture gets around to its calculated socko ending, the viewer has long been pummeled into a state of numbness.

Badland takes a step in the right direction by attempting to understand the aftermath of war. Full Review
Film Journal International
Dec 3, 2007
Rating: 1/5 -- An unrelentingly bleak and depressing drama about an Iraqi war veteran who is unable to deal with his rage.

Dec 9, 2007
Rating: 5/10 -- Exploiting what it is supposed to renounce, Badland combines a dreadfully long and dull screenplay and extremely plain surroundings to make a well-meaning anti-war film you'll want to miss.

Rating: 1.5/4 -- Some good performances. But, the overall disturbing atmosphere of the film is more than I prefer. That said, I appreciate the effort to raise awareness of PTSD. Full Review

Dec 5, 2007
Rating: 2.5/4 -- Clocking in at just under three hours, writer-director Francesco Lucente's earnest attempt at making an Iraq War-era Coming Home says many things at once without much perspective or clarity. Full Review

Product Description:

Though Jerry (Jamie Draven, BILLY ELLIOT) was proud to serve in the first Gulf War in the 1990s, he is reluctant to return to fighting in the Middle East. When he comes back from Afghanistan and Iraq, his wife and three children barely recognize him, and the actions he committed in the war continue to haunt him and his family.
