Cried my eyes out *spoilers*


Wow. Just....wow.
I can't believe how moving and depressing this film is. It's a take on PTSD on soldiers who've been in battlefields.
Shia's acting was bloody amazing as usual. I was literally bawling my eyes out at the end. What an amazing film! I don't get why it's so hated. I loved "Brothers" as well.

I absolutely dislike Kate Mara, and felt anyone could've played her character. No chemistry at all.

But one question still stains...does he survive at the end? He was shot like three times. Ah.

I thought it was pretty good also. Shia's acting certainly was amazing, Oscar worthy IMO. Another movie that left us wondering. I would have liked to either see him die taking his last breath or show a quick scene of him getting help in the hospital. I was even wondering if the cop died at the end.

Man Down is one of those rare films that puts you into the consciousness of another person. It seems most critics weren't ready for that.

One of the most underrated film of 2016. Only wish it was shot a little better.

I'm not a big Kate Mara fan but thought she was fine in this.

I'd imagine he could have survived, depends on how quickly they got him medical attention.
