I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

The rating this horrid movie is getting is so way out of line I'm wondering just what the other reviewers are smoking. This movie is so bad, nobody should have to endure this complete and total waste of time.Where do I begin, how about the fact that the storyline is completely and totally ridiculous. Who ever wrote this garbage must of been on drugs or simply brain-dead. The plot is obvious from the very beginning, I'll spare you the details other than keep your finger on the fast forward button when watching and get to the movie credits as fast as you can because when you are there, that means you are done with this so called movie.The way I look at it is there is 2 hours of my life I'll never get back. Please, if you are reading this review, trust me, do not waste your time, money, or sanity watching this rubbish, a root canal would be a much better use of your time than this insipid garbage posing as a legitimate movie. Oh, by the way did I mention I hated this movie?

"An act of war" is the story of a veteran of the military that - after knowing the atrocities of war - comes back home, but unfortunately he can't lead a normal life because of the post-traumatic stress. Violence and loneliness will continue to haunt him despite he attempts to adapt to normal. It is a realistic view of what happens to many soldiers returning from war, of what remains after the honors and prestige: they cannot return to live as ordinary people, because they will bring back for ever the memory and the trauma of having fought and having seen the deaths of their comrades. From now he won't live peacefully, because he has only a sense of self-destruction.

I Thought this was a brilliant watch! I stumbled across it by accident and read the bio. I was intrigued from the get go and decided to give it a watch. This is a truly epic film. Very dark and one can only assume close to some war vets reality. I got a feel for nickys character straight away, the way he portrayed himself when people spoke to him, he did a fantastic performance.A sad film which highlights our hero's war isn't over when returning from service.Great story from start to finishA must watch

I base movies on if I will remember it down the road or in a future conversation with friends. The Projectionist was and will certainly be a movie that I will remember and talk about for a long long time to come because of the uniqueness of the story characters and plot line. I'm not much of a movie critic but really enjoyed watching this film and was completely engrossed in the film from the first minute. I believe the character base is what makes this movie memorable and original. During points of confusion or uncertainty the acting from different characters really brought you back into the film. the film's cinematography completely blew me away because I generally don't watch B&W films and I forget how beautiful imagery can be in that state. I cannot recommend this film enough for anyone who truly loves movies or good stories that they can sit with friends and talk for hours on end about. This is truly a gem.
