Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
It's the film equivalent of a weary shrug - capturing the national mood at a moment when we'd all prefer some mood enhancers.

fresh:
Stop-Loss is not a great movie, but it's forceful, effective, and alive, with the raw, mixed-up emotions produced by an endless war -- a time when the patriotism of military families is in danger of being exploited beyond endurance.

fresh:
The power of Stop-Loss -- and this is no dumb joke -- is that it shows its hero between Iraq and a hard place.

fresh:
[A] very worthy film.

rotten:
Swamped by cliches, continuity problems, stock characters and very good intentions.
