What did the critics think of this war movie?

In some ways, there is a grim, accidental timeliness in the release of Stop-Loss, which focuses on the ordeal of American soldiers in and out of combat -- New York Times

It's a remarkably entertaining movie, thanks in part to a first-rate cast and a director who knows you can't make a point without calling everyone to attention. -- Washington Post

A wildly uneven drama, by turns sincere and synthetic. -- Variety

Even when the script slips into sentiment, [director] Peirce sticks with her troubled, questing soldiers, and through this raw and riveting movie, they stick with us. -- Rolling Stone
