This is a woefully confused and confusing film.December 02, 2016
The final sequence, when all is revealed, is overwrought, excruciatingly shrill, manipulative, and exploitative -- and hardly a surprise to anyone even halfway paying attention.December 02, 2016
Man Down is a bad film, but it's made even worse by the taste it will leave in your mouth regarding its silly handling of a very serious issue.December 05, 2016
A uniquely unpleasant mash-up of moody post-apocalyptic adventure and moodier wartime melodrama.December 02, 2016
LaBeouf ... ably carries "Man Down" on his shoulders. He has an easy, natural chemistry with Shotwell, and he's a reservoir of buried emotions in his scenes with Oldman.March 31, 2017
This genre-blending drama about a traumatised soldier may be flawed - but it's impossible to fault Shia LaBeouf's commitment to the lead role.March 30, 2017
An uncomfortable blend of war movie, family drama and dystopian sci-fi.March 31, 2017
Once the smoke clears and the shock of its twists wears off, Man Down is even worse than it originally appears.April 02, 2017
Shia LaBeouf delivers a superb performance in a film that is otherwise misjudged on almost every level.March 30, 2017
Montiel's movie gambles everything on an ambitious plot device that doesn't quite come off, but LaBeouf's vulnerability offers an effective portrait of masculinity in crisis.December 02, 2016
Man Down carries a poignant message about American veterans' mental health needs, but you may give up on the movie before it gets there.December 01, 2016
Mr. Montiel may have had honorable intentions in creating this movie. But what he made is neither a viable work of art nor an effective call to action. It's a sadistic and ghoulish spectacle.
