USA/2009/105mins/15. Dir: Jim Sheridan. With Jake Gyllenhaal, Natalie Portman, Tobey Maguire.

When decorated Marine Captain Sam Cahill goes missing in Afghanistan, his drifter younger brother steps in and takes the role of stand-in husband and father for his childhood sweetheart and children. But when Sam returns, traumatised from his time as a Taliban hostage and the acts of war he himself committed, he must find a way to comprehend the shame-filled and burgeoning attraction between his wife and younger brother while rebuilding his own sense of self. Jim Sheridan (In The Name Of The Father) allows the leads space to inhabit the characters and to explore wider notions of love, guilt, responsibility and, hopefully, forgiveness.
